The perspective in the CAD drawings makes the wings look very uneven. I'm looking forward to actual plastic on these, especially the P-40.

Thanks Michal! Being a P-40 fan, it's always good to see another one of these "battle horses" coming up. But why must it be another "E(mil)" as we have a brilliant one made by Hasegawa? I would rather like to see a fine "M" version (so the old crap kit from AMT can be kicked in the bin ..... ) not to mention an "F" or "L" version ..... But I will sure get one just to see how it looks like! Happy modelling! Torsten

It's always hard to tell with CAD drawings, but this looks like an M, not an E- notice the panel behind the spinner with the perforated vents, as well as the lengthened rear fuselage- check the relative postion of the horizontal stabilizer to the fin and rudder. All P-40E's had the "short" fuselage and no perforated panel aft of the spinner.
