Hi

 not only the P-40"M', if you take a look at all these masks:

Nice spot. They do seem to have a relationship in smaller scales with Hasegawa.

Excellent, bring them all on.

Would be fantastic if someone did an engine set for it!

Surely would be nice if someone would reissue the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40K. It hasn’t seen the light of day for years….

Nice to see someone has a later P-40 on the market, but I already have this kit.  I'd rather see an N model re-released.

 

Or better still, a whole new model of a later P-40, including a Merlin powered variant to a similar standard to the GWH P-40B kit.

 

 

Cheers,

Michael

 

 

PS, Yes, I know I'm ignoring the Trumpeter kits, but there's a reason for that.........

So ... Hobby 2000 is releasing a 1/32 P-40M ??? 

[Rick Griewski]

Hmmm.  Hobby2000 is in Poland; releasing kits; Revell Ju-88 kits plastic were minted in Poland.  Maybe Ju-88 kit will return for those that have AIMS conversions with no kit.

Whether it be Hobby 2000 or simply Hasegawa, what I'd like to see is the re-release of the Hasegawa P-40E and P-40K in a single boxing in which parts for both tails are included as per their previous offering in kit # 08226 and a single boxing for a P-40M and P-40N. They (Hasegawa that is) already have the molds and from a marketing perspective, it would certainly fill an existing void. I'd certainly open my wallet for a couple more 1/32 Hasegawa P-40s that I could add to my existing collection.

[Rick Griewski]

Sounds like a great plan Grizzly.  The Hobby 2000 rerelease of the Dragon Bf-109E series kits contain all the plastic parts to make an E-3, 4 or 7.  The decals are variant specific. A good fit for your wishes.

YES. I hope and pray for a Tamiya P-40E/Kittyhawk Mk.Ia.

Yes, rebox of the Hasegawa kit.
