P-40 Collection 1/72

This is almost my entire collection of P-40s, from a Monogram P-36 to a P-40N curiously also from Monogram, although I suspect it is the old Aurora mold, I have old Lodela from the Optional Line for Collectors and Frog, also a new Hasegawa, P-40B / C / E / F / K / M / N, Tomahaw and Warhawk, I almost complete all the countries, although mixing the models in 1/144, 

 I still need some Egypt, Belgium, Holland, the one captured by Germany and the Finland, along with a fantastic one of Sky Captain and the one of John Wayne from the movie Flying Tigers, I have heard of one captured by Communist China and of course the P-40 Phantom, an Internet myth, but very good for modeling, also I am missing the P-40Q, which I will have to do from Scratch, as well as the experimental XP-42, 46 and 60.

I still need to photograph a few scattered pieces, along with the 1/144 and 1/48 copies.

Mirage IIIE, Revell, 1/72, RAAF

 

 

I really like Australian-themed models. I already have a respectable number of models on that subject. One of the first was this Mirage III, from Lodela, one of Revell's lost molds. I assembled it in the 80s when the model came out in Mexico, based on the image of a RAAF aircraft in a book by Gunston.

I don't remember what paint I used, possibly Pactra, as at that time, the aftermarket didn't exist, I painted the badges, the only way to have models that didn't have the standardization of mass production. This became customary, so much so that I think that in my collection of Mirages almost none are direct from the stock market.
