P-40's Warhawks from AIM 1/200 in Japanese liveries

[Blackronin]

These are my AIM 1/200 Japanese P-40's.



The P-40 is one of my favorite planes and the AIM model is beautiful.



I've wanted to do these since the first time I saw pictures of Japanese captured P-40's.



I hope that after the matt varnish spray the plastic look of the decals will disappear.



One more view of the red and green effect.



A view from below.



My Pacific campaign will suffer a little detour...

Very nice indeed, I never knew they were used by the Japanese, always nice to have a different subject.

Thanks, Nigel.

These look lovely, if somewhat off-putting, Joaquim! I never considered that the Japanese might have captured and flown these...you have piqued my curiosity and I must learn more about these.

Hope you're settling in comfortably to your new surroundings

All the best,
Matt

These are the most awesome P 40 repaints of all. I never knew they really exised. Rep guns exhausted for you Quim

Thanks, my friend. Your praise is REP enough.

An interesting subject, Joaquim. that should give some Allied Aviator a double take
Since Andrzej's gun is dry, allow me to treat for the both of us

Thanks, Karl. As usual you're most kind.

Very interesting Joaquim. I like your use of captured planes! Great looking too. One of my favorite planes even though they aren't the best.

Thanks, Peter.
The P-40 was always one of my favorite planes since my childhood.
