Tis going to be a good year for fans of the P-40. This and Airfix seems to have one in the works.

This looks very promising indeed!

Has it really been 5 years since I ran the P-40 Workhorse Campaign ?
The discussion thread is worth a read as well.

Perhaps, in the words of the great philosopher Rafiki, "It is time!"

Cheers, D

I just hope they didn't screw the pooch with the cockpit as Trumpeter did!

I am very stoked to see this model! News of a new P-40 of any variant and (most) any scale pleases me to no end.

However, if the box art shows what I am afraid it shows, Bronco has already made a major mistake with the cockpit floor, which was not a separate assembly, rather it was the top of the wing with cockpit apparatus, gizmos and thing-a-ma-jigs attached. It looks like they have made a separate floor for the cockpit. I hope I am wrong with what I see.
