Nice plane! I've got 2 GMP P40s (Kittyhawk and Aleutian Tiger) and wouldn't mind getting the other 2. They are my 2nd favorite pieces of diecast behind the Corgi 1/32 Bf 109s. Now that you've got one GMP, I'll bet you get more!!!!!!!! My 3rd is on its way.

Well done MikeT, welcome to the GMP club. Old Exterminator was my first too, now I have 7 ...4 'stangs and 3 P-40's.

I removed the old bent wires and drilled out the wing and fuselage holes a little. i used .015 music wire used gap filling super glue to reattach made 3 separate wires cut to size.used black marker pen to color.

Welcome to the forum, miket.

GMP P-40s and P-51s are great diecast models to collect, especially now these can be had for a steal.
I bought my first one 3 years ago and now have 5 Mustangs and 3 P-40s. I pretty much done.

Looks great....That is my favorite P-40 made by GMP.

I'm on the lookout for Old Exterminator, to complete my collection of P-40's. Should have grabbed it when I had a good chance a couple of weeks ago, o well.
