1to1scale Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It’s been a long 2 whole months since I have mangled any styrene with intent...but the dry spell is over. I have spent the last two months packing, moving, and then unpacking. My hobby room/office is not finished yet, and my work benches are still a week away, but a card gamble and some Tamiya glue is all I need to get started. The walls are painted and carpet is installed, this was a long ordeal because nobody stocks carpet in 15 foot widths except for beige. This MY room! I am going to hang airplane and Star Wars **** all over it! Told my wife to let me (asked politely) do as I please in there. I spent the last month buying every P-40 I could get my hands on, and accumulating some AM bits and bobs for them. I have also been trying to chase down the final versions of what I wanted to build, the last one decided this morning. To keep me on track, I’m going to stick with these. I now have all the decals and masks on hand or ordered, with the only exception being the Turkish version, which I have not found any decals to make, so I’m going to have to custom mask them. Here we go, let’s see how confusing it gets with 8 planes on the bench! Trak-Tor, Out2gtcha, Rick Griewski and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Well, this looks like a feast... I think I'll watch this place carefully. I just can't get enough of P-40s..... Juraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooesboy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 This should be quite something to watch come together, best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonH Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 WOw, that's a lot of plastic on the go at the same time! That would be about 10 years of modelling for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Lol, I’m not crazy! My wife had me tested! I all seriousness, I’ve done this before, it’s actually a great way to knock down the stash. I did 5 FW-190’s and a BF-109 a couple years ago.

1to1scale Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I’ll start taking pictures in the next couple days, I’m still getting organized and gathering supplies, but I have all the kits and parts piled up in the corner of the closet. All I’m waiting for is one set of decals for #4, from Barracuda. KUROK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hmmm...I swear I haves seen some Turkish decals somewhere. I will look in the stash and see what I have. No promises, my brain is addled with age, but if I find anything I will let you know. I don't plan on doing any Turkish WWII aircraft. Good luck with the production line; I will be watching with interest as I need to do something to cut into my own stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Ray, thanks! I would certainly take em if you got em. If not no big deal, the Turkish emblems are pretty easy to mask, we really are just talking about squares. The onLy challenging part is the star on the tail.

KiwiZac Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 There's no such thing as too many P-40s! I'm very excited to follow along with your production line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any decals in the stash. I did find some for Hurricanes, and maybe this is what I was remembering, but if I bought them, I don't know where they are: They have them for sale here.
