Curtiss P-40N Warhawk „Lulu Belle“

Christoph Schnarr
The fifth and last model of my small Warhawk series is also a P-40N. Here I used the kit from Hobby 2000. This is a reissue of the well-known Hasegawa kit, but with new decals. The model is built in the markings of the well-known "Burma Banshees", here as Lulu Belle flown by 2nd Lt. Philip Adair.

Christoph Schnarr
The second P-40N was also riveted and is now ready for painting. Here the bombs are from Hasegawa and Brengun.

And to end my little series, a real "Burma Banshee", the P-40N of 2nd Lt. Philip Adair of the 80th FG, 1944.

On picture 15, did you first apply olive drab 41 and lighten in "post" with XF49&21 without primer?

Christoph Schnarr
Exactly, the lightening was done without primer 😉

Great job Christoph! May I ask where did you get the wheels?

Christoph Schnarr
Thank you very much, George. If I remember correctly, the wheels are from Ultracast with self-made hubcaps made from plastic sheet.

George Chatzidakis
Thought so... They are only available from ultra cast nowadays but the postage is dreadful. I've been looking for them without luck.
