bsarnoffca Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks Much Kev. I sprayed the exhausts with black and a little rust then painted with oils. Check photos. Most exhausts have that whiteish look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUROK Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I love P-40s and I love this project too! Good job and I like the exhausts. You correctly didn't weather the first pipe like the other five! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks all. Grant, not that busy. These are photos taken over many months and just posted all at once. Kuroc, yes it's those details that make a difference, no? The exhaust coloring is best done with oil paints as they can be easily blended. Waroff, excellent call! Yes the red and blue were painted with US paints not French so the light blue roudel would be innaccurate...but I might cut a out a blue from a British decal and put it on...just might work! Also your H75 is beautiful. I did one myself and will post a few pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 ...what am I thinking? That won't work. British roundels are red in the center! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
