I am going to use the new Hasegawa P-40E in 1/48th scale and a set of Tally Ho! decals to build a model of his plane.
Note that Pokryshev's personal mount was P-40E '50', not '65'. The last plane was LtCol Matveev's machine (unit CO). This error is common for many sources because there are several Pokryshev's photos in front of '65'.
