Enter it in a contest and let's see how the judges react Great model !! I would probably be disqualified for misleading young modellers if I didn t add a reference photo.

GeeBee Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Excellent & lovely build (as usual !) Tolga ! I studied that unit & wrote an article for "Le Fana de l'Aviation" magazine with some new infos. Only mistake is about the spinner color: Sq/Signal got it right as the 89thFS color (#49 & #51 were 89thFS machines) was red 88thFS was white, and 90thFS was dark blue.

See my blog for more research work: https://burmabansheesblog.blogspot.com/ Thank you As a matter of the fact My referneces for this project were Eduard s box art and Squadron signal P-40 in action book. I respect the information you sent about the spinner color of 89th FS. But In the picture, the spinner color is very very dark nearly black .Darker than tires and also wheel cover color. Probably spinner swapped from another 90th FS s Warhawk . And also I compared the spinner colors in the following picture. #49 is the sixth warhawk after "Mis Frances III". Its spinner color is diffrent than the other red ones. I believe that "Joanne " has not red spinner though it s belonged to 89th FS. Well On the other hand, Wish the decals set in your blog were in 1/32. I guarantee that I will built 2 another "N"s at least. The first one would be #61 with shark eye replacement cowl. Thanks.

Greif8 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Fantastic build Tolga and great attention to detail to get the "backwards" drop tank positioned correctly; makes for an eyecatcher to be sure. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, Tolga and you may be right about a spinner swap. I have some video stills from a color film showing some Burma Banshees P-40Ns. A former P-40N-1 type can be seen there and her spinner is red. She also displays the "pair of dices" on her wheel hubs: https://burmabansheesblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/burma-banshees-p-40-line-up.html If I ever build the 1/32 P-40N I have, that will be "Dikam Death" flown by Bob Gale but the tail number isn't confirmed by any pic (yet)...

Thanks P-40N-1 #49 you posted is interesting. But the form of skull is different than N-5 Joanne . By the way, your blog is excellent. There are excellent photos which I never seen before. Thanks for sharing "Dikam Death" skull figure is very interesting. The black dots look like beard and hair. If someone produces its decal in 1/32 please let me know.

Yes, I know that skulls varied in shape and outline when the markings were "updated". Thanks for your comment about my blog. I keep trying to dig up new infos "Dikam Death" is certainly one of the most interesting 88th FS machines, but Rising Decals doesn't seem to be interested into 1/32...
