I come to you with my P-40 Warhawk MK II. I made some minor changes to
details, rebuilt the tail fins, and most importantly, I have decently sized
pictures of the model. The images should load MUCH faster for you DSL users.

Very nifty!  I like the way you did the engine (does the 4x4 cylinder
piece turn?), and I love the gun sight in front of the cockpit.

The entire piece is mounted upon a 2x1 brick with a hole in it. I got a four
bump long pin in there, holding the cylinder, the propellor, and the
spinner, so yes, it does indeed turn.

(...) I see. I believe that the actual P-40's engine did not turn, though. The rotary engines where the entire engine turned were common in WWI, but not WWII. It would be tricky to get the same visual design without having the engine rotate though. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
