Hello everyone,
I’ve started working on this Eduard kit:

To replicate a Curtiss P 40N Warhawk flown by J. A. Thomas of the 110th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (110th TRS), part of the 71st Tactical Reconnaissance Group (71st TRG), based on Middleburg Island, Dutch New Guinea, in September 1944.

Very nice!  The NMF on the P-40 is something that is not often seen but certainly appreciated!
