Tolga ULGUR Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Great start. I did the same build order of attaching the tail first and it really seemed to help the build. I look forward to watching this! Thanks This is my second Hasegawa s 1/32 P-40 and I recommend all to install firstly tail section to the fuselage halves for a good result.

As it happens, I'm building my second Hasegawa P-40 right now, too. You are absolutely right about installing the tail sections to the fuselage halves first.

LSP_Ron Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 FYI, the forward windscreen has a frame that doesn't belong there. The front left and right glass are one piece not two. Hasegawa messed that up. The angled frame running through them can easily be sanded off and polished out with toothpaste.

Thanks for the advice Ron Hasegawa had fixed this piece in the following years The model on hand should be from the next production line.No problem on the windscreen. It s one piece.

KUROK Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) AdamR, As mentioned, that bit of canopy bracing (only on the left-front windscreen) is only present on some of the P-40N late models and maybe some P-40Ms. Yours is a P-40E and that bracing should not be there. Hope we caught it in time before you painted! Edited June 28, 2017 by KUROK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we caught it in time before you painted! Before I painted, but not before the masking is on! Oh, well, I'll mask that bit off and polish the frame out after the masks come off. How odd that only the left side was made that way! I wonder why. Anyway, thanks very much for the heads-up, KUROK. Edit: Turns out that gap you see on the forward quarter glass is not a frame member, but a gap in the Eduard canopy mask. It has a piece of Tamiya tape over it now. Perhaps the mask was produced before Hasegawa fixed the canopy problem. Whatever, there will be no canopy correction required. Thanks again to KUROK for looking out for us.
