| Re: Custom P-40E Very nice, Trap. However, I think I'' leave my Aleutian Tiger alone. Only have the one, and I expect it to become very valuable down the road!    | |||||||||||||

| Re: Custom P-40E I would have done the same except that I've got the same markings on my Corgi AA35205 P-40E. Since the Corgi kit has better details and landing gear, I'll keep that one. Besides, this Matchbox version is still pretty common on ebay. In fact, that's where I got this one. I was going to redo my Matchbox Claire Chennault P-40 (which is rarer I believe), but decided to customize this one instead. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Custom P-40E Looks good. The nose of the P-40 was just made to be decorated. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Custom P-40E
Thanks STARMAN, The brand is "Tally-Ho", a Czech company. I ordered them from Squadron. Set has markings for 5 P-40s - 3 British and 2 American. They worked out pretty well. I put the decal sheet title in my original post if you need it. | ||||||||||||||
