Re: Pics: GMP Kittyhawk

Here ya go..This is what it should of looked like.

Bit late in the day to add to this thread but those are much later Kittyhawk III's. The one modeled by GMP and Corgi is a Kittyhawk I. AK578 (The GMP GA-V) would have been long gone by this time. On the 112 sq web site there is a color profile depicting the plane as modeled with the red/yellow teeth.

http://www.mts.net/~royb/images/GAV_...yhawk_Mk_I.jpg

This site also lists this particular model as a P-40D which means that it should only have 4 guns not 6. I can't find a color on this one but I have found a grainy B/W pic that does seem to show the lower half of the mouth being a yellowie type color for one unidentified plane.

Not conclusive, but it could well have been like that at that time

The 112 sq site in its entirety is:

RAF 112 Sqn Tribute
 

Ooops!

Re: Pics: GMP Kittyhawk

You can never have enough discussions on P-40s, or enough pictures too, (Nice color shots)
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

Re: Pics: GMP Kittyhawk

There has been a lot of discussion about whether or not the GMP shark's mouth is correct. I am not convinced it isn't; but I concede it might be. Regardless, it is a beautiful model and well worth having. I like it more than Old Exterminator.

Re: Pics: GMP Kittyhawk

Just snagged this one for $50 at our favorite GMP bargain site. Also got Old Exterminator of $60

And there I was thinking I wouldn't be increasing my collection for 08.

Good haul Timbo! The Kittyhawk is one of my favorites. You won't be disappointed.

Re: Pics: GMP Kittyhawk

I also have this model and it is a super piece of diecast. Even if the shark mouth is wrong this little beauty makes a nice display in my collection. Its an eye-catcher and my favorite P 40 from GMP
