Hi, this is a model built for the Blitzbau II on the Airfix unofficial forum, a 24 hour build.  I started it on Jan 1 at 11:00A.M and finished on Jan 2 just before 11:00A.M.  I built the Academy kit (which is a very good model) out of the box, except by the hydraulics and antennae cable.

The model was finished in FAB colors, using neutral gray and olive drab of hobby cores acryl (a national paint).  This model represents a P-40N of 3rd fighter group, Canoas-Brazil in 1944.  You can read more about P-40 in FAB service here: http://www.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/FAB/en/index.html

I hope you like it.
