Tolga ULGUR Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 This is my recently finished 1/32 Great Wall Hobby's P-40B with TuAF markings . These Tomahawks were Ex-RAF Tomahawks from Mediterannean stocks. They were re-painted in Turkey by using RAF fighter paints. Cockpit modified by using Eduard instrument panels and RAF seatbelts. I found the RAF gunsight from an old Hasegawa Spitfire in my spare box and used it. Main wheels are from Barracudacast Paints are Gunze Sangyo acrylics. National insignias are painted by masking Star and Crescent on the rudder is from Turquoise decal "White 3" decal is from Customhobbydecals.

Juggernut Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Nicely done! I'm going to have to get mine out someday.... Hopefully, I'll do as good as yours. Tolga ULGUR and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Well done Tulga. I love that this is something different and you don't see everyday! Congrats. The Turkish Air force also flew early Mk Spitfires and if I recall properly, Fw-190's? P.S. I loved my time in Istanbul, Antalya, Bursa (Alexander Kebab) and I have a good English mate living in a resort town on the Black Sea somewhere currently. I need to recall the name. He just received his Turkish residency papers. Amasra or Sinop? Kind regards on "another" super effort. I just recently picked up the Qunita set for this same aircraft. Wow!
