Ok, that's a P 40 E, but boy does that go well with these pictures that Life Magazine took at a factory in the early forties.

I HAVE to find a large scale Warhawk soon! Does anybody know in what markings Wil Bill Kelso flew in 1941 - Where is Hollywood?

Nice reference pictures Fred. Thanks.
Tony, I have a 1/24 scale P-40 from Vintage Fighters that I've been planning on doing for some time now.

Nice photos Fred. If I know Fred, he was ready to start that Allison engine up. Pull the chalks from the wheels, open the hanger doors and go for what would be a thrilling flight! To bad we don't have some of him in the air with that fabulous machine! Russell.
