docdodj01 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks! I aim to finish this by August for our IPMS competition here in Manila. :-)
Out2gtcha Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Looking good! I like the profile so far On 7/11/2019 at 8:53 PM, docdodj said: Compared to an actual image. 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!

Out2gtcha Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Looks good! Id be curious to see what the join between the resin tail and IM fuse. docdodj01 1

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 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?
KUROK Posted August 1, 2019 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

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.
