docdodj 67 Posted July 23, 2019 Double checking if everything’s square. Need to fill in some seams on the tail plane, make the rudder and fins fit better, then repaint the cockpit. I made an error using bronze green, rather then interior green. Seems I read somewhere that the cockpit was bronze green, turns out it wasn’t. 3 Trak-Tor, LSP_Kevin and Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dpgsbody55 992 Posted July 23, 2019 Great work so far. This is shaping up into a nice rendition of a Merlin powered P-40. Cheers, Michael 1 docdodj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 1 Out2gtcha and docdodj01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docdodj 67 Posted August 1, 2019 Painting on going, after this gloss coat, then decals, then weathering! 3 USMC Herc, Trak-Tor and LSP_Kevin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docdodj 67 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KUROK 580 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. 1 docdodj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
