1/72 Academy P-40E Warhawk

--------------------

 

Here is my 1/72 Academy P-40E. I bulit it as the 'Aleutian Tiger'.  The decals in this kit are too fragile, and unluckily I broke the tiger head decal.  Instead of using the decal, I masked and painted this tiger head.

Note that here are some mistakes in this kit, the most obvious of these mistakes is the antenna and the 'white band' on the fuselage, the white band in the painting guide goes a wrong direction. 

Here is a historical photo below and this picture shows which direction the 'white band' go.
