It was looking really good, certainly seems cursed, but you've done so much excellent repair work so far, I'm sure you can remedy this latest setback in your stride and get it over the finish line. It's going to be a fine looking model.

I received the kit last week, and straight out of the box it will make a fantastic model, superb surface detail, clear parts like crystal, photo etch parts, fabric seat belts, and a great subject.

ZM have announced they are doing a B here, regards the A, Hannants had one listed as a future release from Special Hobby for a few years, though it's no longer there, but hopefully they'll get round to it, as they did the Yak 3.

I put all the backorder Helldiver sets into my cart, with a few other items to get free postage, processed without a problem just now, including the flap set, I'd send Hannants an email.

If you log in, go to your shopping cart, click on the items back ordered at the bottom of the page you wish transfer to your shopping cart, that's it.

If you backordered the flap set and it sold out, it doesn't mean your item is, it should be reserved for you and available to move to your shopping cart.

I just merged the new thread with the original one, best to keep things tidy.

Very nice indeed, Merlin engine, desert camouflage, what's not to like?

Fantastic build, you wouldn't know it wasn't out of the box.

You have to bear in mind the first photo is colourized from a black and white original.

Ooops, I have seen that photo before, just got fixated on the Bronco, sorry, I previously found this picture taken over Panama, probably do the Roden kit marked so...

Frequently back in the 80's, such as this example at Yeovilton

Great recollections Ron, extremely envious, and thanks for sharing, those are the kinds of memories we seldom hear.

I was going to suggest contacting Nick Greenhall via Britmodeller, but see Simon is already doing so, you need to start with an AV-8B nose, then add the fairing.

Steering the thread back on trail, I believe the P-40B saw service in China...

Very nicely done, especially like the choice of marking, and, needless to say, the paint work.

Hopefully you can find the answer to your question in this thread.

Build photos

Or Master Details.

Great to see you back Eli.

Here you go Gary https://www.modellismopiu.it/modules/newbb_plus/print.php?forum=113&topic_id=119586 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/kH17fbf-nEqzvIPQ5_Cw4bMgfCW1TOTTsVBOP2OufTbWtmPRgV7lFpWMjeEWG82gGnxnlNzOlQU9lXn9rCoQI564CBdMqDDfhxk

It does, and it is noticeable sadly, you wonder how they made such a mistake, you can see the offending images on Hannants. Nice work Tom.

I think the best chance would be Infinity for an IM kit.

Looks mighty fine to me, not seen one in those markings before, thanks for sharing.

There are a few options with this book, it's out of print, but might be able to pick it up, same with this one, white 5 is Eduard Schallmoser's aircraft.
