Tony T Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Got to admit, a P-40B appeals about fifty times more than a Mustang B. Sorry. Maybe it's being weaned on Airfix back in the day. Tony Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 With all the excitement about Lancaster’s and Liberators this is a really smart release. I like the subject and have been dying for a new P-40B I will be ordering one as soon as they are available already have my AVG resources on the shelf just awaiting something to build. I did a couple AVG planes in 1/48 a few pears ago, I grabbed the Hasegawa 1/48 P-40 E the second I could get my hands on it and latter a Trumpeter P-40B. Been wanting a 1/32 P-40B over the Trumpeter one for a long time. I know the Trumpeter kit is adequate, but with some many 1/32 planes on the market that are extraordinary, I don’t see the need to buy just because it is adequate. The quality standards have moved on since the Trumpeter release. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AresShrike Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Very Glad to see this one come out, I'd been waiting a good while for a really nice 1/32 P-40B! (Still waiting for that Hong Kong Models 1/32 P-51B/C though, and I haven't given up on that 1/32 P-51H!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esarmstrong Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The amount of interior detail on those CAD's is reminiscent of the work being done by Zoukei Mura. I like it. LSP_Matt and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Wow this thread started years ago. I hope it is worth the wait. I can see myself being the “first mouse to the cheese” on this one. Tolga ULGUR, Gazzas and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I’ll be honest - I’m not a huge fan of this particular aircraft but I’ll happily purchase it to support these guys for jumping into the LSP pool. With Tamiya and Hasegawa seeming to be moving on from the genre and not being a fan of ICM, KH, Trumpy or ZM (either due to crappy quality or simply their choice of subjects), I’m very excited to see a high quality manufacturer like GWH getting into 32nd scale aircraft. I hope this is only the first of many kits that are close to Tamiya-level in their quality. The Dude, Jeff T and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The P-40B/C is the meanest looking member of the family. It's shape reminds me of a Great White poised to strike. The later P-40's just don't grab me nearly as much. I'll be right behind Rick in the queue. scvrobeson, Daywalker, ivanmoe and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
