Wow, that has got to be some of the deepest mud on an airfield I've ever seen. Hopefully the landing strip wasn't that deep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grey matter resin tail was specifically for the Hasegawa P-40E, with an already separate tail. The resin tail is more wider at the bottom, but ok on the top when fitted on the Trumpeter P-40.

docdodj01 Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 So when trumpeter tooled this kit, they should’ve mentioned it the earlier short tail version. I noticed it lacked the antenna mast, an extra frame on the windshield, and the rear view mirror on the canopy framing appropriate for the version I’m aiming for. Should I scratch build it, or leave it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUROK Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You can paint that extra framing on the port side of the windscreen pretty easily. The other parts should be easy to scratch. docdodj01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other parts should be easy to scratch. Same thoughts too. I may try to cast my Revell P-51D antenna mast using oyamaru. After further reading and research, I think I can skip the canopy framing since these were added to the mid to late L variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
