Airix 1:72 Curtiss Tomahawk

[matto21]

My only completed build for 2015. Nice little kit although the tyre flats don't line up with the floor [possibly builder error!] and the undercarriage legs are flimsy.

Painted using Tamiya acrylics over a black base coat.













Happy New Year!

Excellent work, P-40s are awesome.

Great build. imo 1/72 are hard to pull off - and you did it superbly.

[Smiffy]

Wonderful looking Tomahawk

Thank you both very much for the comments!

1/72 are what I consider 'watchmakers' kits', you need eagle eyes and gripping hands. Lovely build, especially at that scale.

But for a £6 plane it's not too bad

I agree, it's a lovely little kit. I don't even think I paid as much as £6!

Great build

I think the wheels can be fixed by swapping them around, like rotating car tyers

Despite the flat issue, nice job!

Thanks for the comment! If I remember correctly, the wheels are keyed so only fit one way...
