Oh I do know what you mean, I'm glad airfix tends to keep the original box art on re releases.

Hi guys,

Yep it is nice purchase because it is one of cheaper Academy kit. Unfortunately it is a plastic scrap .There is a lot of mistakes that are difficult to correct.But for a training of modelling it can be.
109ROAMING if you want a nice early P-40 model, look around the Trumpeter 1/72 scale kit.

You'r welcome Daniel.Be careful of the wings, especially the upper halves of this.You have to fit it to the transition the fuselage-wing becuse these halves are too long and there is a need to remove some plastic from the area.If you won't do it the model will be looking like a man with his shoulders down.

Hey Rochie, you first aircraft "Yellow 12" is an Fw190A-8/R2 flown by Uffz. Paul Lixfeld of 6/JG 300, based at Lobnitz in November of 1944. The aircraft had formerly been on strength with Nachtjagdgruppe 10 as this unit's emblem is still displayed on the engine cowl. I do have some pics of yellow 12 will get them scanned and posted!
