Looking at these photos of the Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk from Academy at 1:72 scale, the paint job really stands out. It’s got this smooth, even application that makes the camo patterns pop. The colors seem spot-on, capturing that period feel of the aircraft, which is always a treat when you see someone put care into getting it right.

Now, did you know the P-40B Tomahawk was flown by the Flying Tigers? Those guys were not just any air unit; they were American volunteer pilots defending China before the U.S. officially joined World War II. It’s wild that they ran those missions with borrowed equipment and managed to become quite a legend. It’s this kind of history that makes modeling these planes so fascinating for me. It’s like building a little piece of history with plastic and paint, giving it life again in miniature form.

This model really deserves attention for the way it captures both the essence of the original plane and for the craftsmanship of its builders, Tihon 28 & Alex 52. It’s a straightforward build, but with those little details that take a model from good to worth a second look. The little touches bring the Tomahawk’s storied past into the present.
