Erwin Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi all, I'm still waiting for the Zero to get realy started on the Rufe. In the mean time I decided to get going at the P-40. With all the P-40 's lately on LSP,I can't fall behind. The build up is like the Defiant and P-39. So I won't bodder you with the inbetween steps anymore. That's the Revell 32 nd P-40 beside it.

Erwin Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 ...the rearwindows in the kit are a one piece vacmold together with the canopy and windshield. When I dryfitted it,it was clear that the fit would never be good. So I decided to seperate the rearwindow from the rest and scratchbuild the aftsection. Next pic will be when the wing is completed. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimInOz Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yep that looks like a P-40 to me , as Brian has already mentioned Erwin, it definately captures the look of the P-40, well done, good work mate. Any clues or hints to how she will be finished??? VVVS perhaps? Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
