Newly announced today. Arma Hobby are to tackle the early P-40s, namely the AVG machines, Hawk 81, Tomahawk II and P-40 B/C. Have to admit, I hope they do the Tomahawk I as well as I'm not sure it's ever been specifically modelled. Bit of a shame they've not done any Mohawks or the spatted P-36s but maybe they're in the not too distant future.

P-40 goodness

They'll be good to see  :thumbsup:  I can see £ being spent  :angel:

I think there have been early P-40's, by the likes of AZ etc, but I'm not sure how accurate they are. As for "spatted" P-36's, Clear Prop did some a few years ago, I have a couple in the Stash, and they always remind me of an earlier iteration of ARMA for some reason, sam eoverall style ? But it would be nice to see them tackled by ARMA, especially as I've now learned to ignore the tiny bits  :angel:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I did work out that with judicious trimming, it is possible to make a Tomahawk I, IIa and IIb from the Airfix kit. IIRC the old IPMS Sweden article helped there. However, Arma do their research well so will no doubt be able to produce better than "get you by" mods.
