Desert Airforce P-40

 

I've made an addition to my 1/144 scale Desert Airforce in the shape of a 3d-printed P-40 Tomahawk or Warhawk or Kittyhawk, depending on who you are. They all look very similar, with minor differences in the size and shape of the radiator housing beneath the nose.

For the most part, the British and Commonwealth pilots knew it as Kittyhawk, and that's what I'll think of it as.

The model is up-scaled from one of Roman Troyan's 1/200 designs. He can be found at https://www.patreon.com/planeprinter. I printed it on my Ender 3 — although it's not as smooth as an injection-moulded or resin-printed piece, it will serve just fine as a wargaming model.

I've done another P-40 before, but this is a better design, in my opinion.
