My Hasegawa 1/48 P-40N Kittyhawk as NZ3155(50) at Ondonga Nov - Dec 1943. She wears kill markings for 2 Zekes claimed by F/O Rayner on 1 Nov 1943. Unusually, it seems to me, she wore a black code number when others appeared to be white at the time. From the photo in 'Air-to-Air' with F/O Balfour standing on the wing, the aircraft clearly suffered from bad oil (&/or fuel) leakage. Upon takeoff from Torokina on 19 Dec I943 she suffered complete engine failure at about 300ft and dived into the sea, killing F/Sgt McDonald. Lest We Forget. Wally. Attachments:

PS - regrettably, perhaps, I posted the large image and cannot find a way to modify it. Cheers.

Cool - a nice messy, oily look achieved.
