The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, WWII American fighter plane. It was most famously used by the "Flying Tigers" stationed in China. I was introduced to it via Sky Captain, a fandom that's sadly apparently DOA now but which springboarded my interest in WWII.
I wanted a model but hated working with plastic glues (those warning labels again!) so I opted for a balsa wood version. I put a few pics of it in progress (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=ldhenson&keyword=P-40+model.&filter=all) at my LJ if you're curious.
