Re: New GMP P-40s

I'd go with the American bird first, but its a tough call.

Talking Re: New GMP P-40s

Personally, I'd go with Old Exterminator

I really prefer the RAF scheme between these two though, the endless stream of Matchbox Aleutians kind of ruins the other for me... yeah, pick up the MB 1:72 for $10 and go for the RAF GMP and have them "both"

Agreed! It is an early war classic.

Re: New GMP P-40s

I'm going to get the Aleution Tigers to go with my other P-40 Flying Tigers of Robert Scott.
The "Aleutian Tigers" was commanded by John “Jack” Chennault the son of General Claire Chennault who commanded the Flying Tigers in China.

Re: New GMP P-40s

Personally, I like the livery of the Raf scheme better.

Re: New GMP P-40s

The Aleution Tigers P-40 is an absolute must have.

The Kittyhawk mmmm eehh if it wasn't for the noseart......mmm I don't know. I'm sure I'll pick it up just so that I have all of the GMP planes but I can't say that I'm real fond of it.
