gunpowder Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) 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? Edited February 7, 2020 by gunpowder BiggTim 1
gingerbob Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Really easy, if you have the right parts available!
gunpowder Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Is this the right part or am i getting confused? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GMAC3201-1-32-SCALE-P40-EXTENDED-TAIL-HASEGAWA-P40-KIT-AFTER-MARKET/223253968161?hash=item33faf93521%3Ag%3Ao74AAMXQNo5Tanoz&_trkparms=pageci%3Abf2f7395-49ce-11ea-b3d6-74dbd180b048|parentrq%3A20aec94e1700a4b7fcb5306dffe7cd00|iid%3A1 Edited February 7, 2020 by gunpowder BiggTim 1
Dave Williams Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Here are the sprue layouts for the E and M kits. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10098745/70/8 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10139613/70/8 Looks like the M kit has a different tail sprue (I), new exhausts (U), new exhaust fuselage panel (E), and windscreen (X).

gunpowder Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 Thanks Dave , thats great. BiggTim 1
gingerbob Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited February 8, 2020 by gingerbob
corsairlada Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Eduard 1/32 P-40N contains parts for E, M, N and also Overtrres P-40N Edited February 8, 2020 by corsairlada
LSP_Mike Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 IIRC, the Eduard Pinup edition has all the parts for the E, M and N.
KUROK Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 There is also an extra canopy brace on the windscreen. On port side only I believe. You could just paint that on.
