fightnjoe Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Well all good things must come to an end. This is the finished Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. Let me recap. -Scratchbuilt interior minus seven kit parts, one resin engine, and one resin seat. -Scratchbuilt tail wheel assembly. -Scratchbuilt wing framing. -Scratchbuilt .50 cals. -After market decals. All told way to long to finish. But I will take it. Again the pictures are much too faded but this time I know why. There are some issues/omissions, glaring to me. The ones I did not fix are the ones that would require me to tear the build apart and start over. Thank you for looking in. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

ringleheim Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Looks great, Joe! I really like the cutaway approach so you can see some of the interesting detail inside. I love P-40s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Remarkable workmanship there Joe Whilst following along I realized a model made like this has a wider appeal to people (not just modelers) to appreciate. What you have created enables non aviation people to see what an old Aircraft looks like inside and tell a story of the theater it operated in. Beautiful work buddy, I really love this Cheers Anthony Edited January 21, 2019 by Anthony in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rigor Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Outstanding joe they get better and better. What's next ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ya know.....this build is truly deserving of the comments and praise that it's getting. I simply cannot believe that on "the other" forum that there hasn't been at the very least at least "thumbs up" given after two days of the finish of this beautiful aircraft being posted. Hell some pointers or critique would've done ..............but post something. I mean...........damn! Enough of my rant. This is , without a doubt, one of the best P-40's I've seen built yet.
