Cees Broere Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi all,I had a serious lack of modelling enjoyment after doing long drawn projects without any chance of finishing within a reasonable timeframe. The last model I finished was two years ago. I had started the Fly Hurricane earlier this year but that one ended up in the bin. I needed help..... .So I went out to look for a simple kit of a subject that I liked (Dutch livery or RAF) but not too complicated such as twin engines etc. So it had to be a fighter. I found the Hasegawa P-40E Warhawk a very nice subject so this is intended to be a no frills model. I also kept it from LSP for a while and just concentrated on myselfHere are some pics to show the progress so far two weeks after I started. I can say the pleasure has returned and I have enjoyed building up and painting the cockpit using only the Eduard interior set.CheersCees MikeC, Kagemusha, monthebiff and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Nice work Cees! I've got one of these to do one day. Craig mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks Craig, It's a very nice kit. The many inserts do require care but the fit is generally very good. mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Nice to see. I've had that "overwhelmed by life" thing going on and crave a non-complex build (not sure what I was thinking with the B-17--that's going to be a long one!) I have the M, N and K in the stash. Hmmm..... Looking good! Tim W. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cees, It's great to see you working your magic again! Cheers, Tom mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Nice Work, Cees. I was just noting your reply in my thread and thought I'd check out your stuff. I was just thinking this morning what a great project the P-40 is a 1/32 .. and then here you are doing one. Would imagine those that take on the big projects need a little one once in a while to keep the fires lit. I plan to keep some kit work going while managing the load of a scratch project.

Jasta 14 addict Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Very nice work Cees. I got the P-40K in my stash hidden somewhere, one day i will tackle this one to. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks chaps,Here's a pic of the cockpit. I think this will be the first of my models with an open hood. I really like the oob kitdetails with the Eduard interior set. MikeMaben, Anthony in NZ, Shaka HI and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Always good to see another P-40 here; such classic lines on this machine. The last 1:32 P-40 I built, was the old Revell kit, but I had a great time with it. Grabbing a Hasegawa kit has been something I've wanted to for quite some time now. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Looks good Cees. You're really cracking on with this one. Jim mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Looking good, Don't forget to polish out that fictitious vertical wind screen frame. The front windscreen side glass is one piece not two. Ron Cees Broere, LSP_K2 and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I will be following this thread having ordered this kit and a decal sheet. The Ac named "Grace" is my planned version. Grace being the name of my niece. Information, such as the above regarding the canopy is of interest to me. Here's the sheet from Aussie decals. For those who don't know, apparently 75 Sqn got its name because the RAAF got 75 P40's. Guyman1 and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
