P-40E to M?

[gunpowder]

How easy is it to convert the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E to an M model? Just extended tail and the 2 intakes in front of the exhausts?

Really easy, if you have the right parts available!

Is this the right part or am i getting confused?

Here are the sprue layouts for the E and M kits.

Looks like the M kit has a different tail sprue (I), new exhausts (U), new exhaust fuselage panel (E), and windscreen (X).

Thanks Dave , thats great.

Yes, that tail should work.  At least one boxing also gave both short and long tails (K or Kittyhawk III?), so it is just possible that somebody has a spare long tail from the kit.  As for the other bits, they may be on the sprues, I can't remember.

Excellent , thanks Guys

IIRC, the Eduard  Pinup edition has all the parts for the E, M and N.

There is also an extra canopy brace on the windscreen.  On port side only I believe.  You could just paint that on.
