Hasegawa's 1/48 scale P-40N Warhawk is available online from Squadron
After building Mauve's P-40N for Euro Modelismo, I decided to try Hasegawa's kit.
In my opinion this is a much better kit.
The only issue with the Hasagawa kit is the time and attention needed to fix the tail to fusalage joint.
This was a time consuming build, but I am pleased with the outcome.

The kits and accessories used are as follows:
-
Hasegawa 1/48 scale P-40N
-
Eduard Flaps
-
Avionix resin Cockpit
-
Ultra Cast resin exhausts
-
Master .50cal brass gun barrels.
Paints used were
Testor's Model Master enamel Sand on the upper surfaces and Testor's Duck Egg Blue lower surfaces.

I used the Hasegawa decals as they proved to be accurate from the few very good reference pictures of the aircraft.
The model was weathered with Mig Pigments.
