P-40 N-1

Some notes about the model
This is the Hasegawa 1:48 scale P-40M kit modified to represent a P-40 N-1. Ultracast wheels, seat and exhaust were used, as well as an Eagle Strike decal sheet. The aircraft Steffen chose to do was flown by Samuel E.Hammer of the 89th Fighter Squadron, a 5 kill Ace. The typical Burma Banshee Death Head was modified to match the photos of the real aircraft.

The model was photographed by Marc Toillié on a PSP diorama base, during a nice summer photo session in his garden.
