Robthepom Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) This kit has been in my stash for a while, looks great in the box, i hope to complete a great model. Theres no need for AM, so I'm straight into it. i like skulls so Lulu Belle it is The kit comes with a embossed steel plaque, if anyone wants it for free delivery in Australia send me a PM and I'll post it. Its a bit cartoonish for my pure tastes I know nothing about the kit or the aircraft so I'll do bit of reading as i go Edited August 21, 2020 by Robthepom MikeMaben, scvrobeson, Alburymodeler and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenJuve Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Build this kit when it came out. Had no real issues with it and I was quit content with the result. The boxart comes from the comic book series "Angel wings" and I really like the stile. Have fun with it. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpgsbody55 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Nice kit. I'd love a P-40N to add to my stash. Looking forward to your build. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) cockpit complete Kit pilot is so serious, frowning down on poor modelling skills. My wife pulls the same face when i come home late from the pub This seam is trying my patience, i didnt adjust the parts as it was glueing so there is a step which is real hard to get right, I'll try for 3rd time later today Edited August 30, 2020 by Robthepom Landrotten Highlander, Brett M, Lenny320 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Looking excellent so far - you'll enjoy this kit!!! I love the -N and having built the -M last year I'll be following this closely.

Robthepom Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) hello hello I thought I'd experiment with this plane and do excessive preshading, under the Olive drab and underside grey, should be fun learning what shade colours work with the top coat. I'll spray the underside first and if I dont like the look i can modify the top shading [img]https://i.imgur.com/LlGIXWN.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/UTsHS7y.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mu6Z1Di.jpg[/img] Edited September 22, 2020 by Robthepom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Looks good, I have a soft spot for the P40 but only have two in the display cabinets, I must do better. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Faded on some US Olive Drab using SMS paints, the dark green marks are tamiya IJN Green.

Robthepom Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 great options with this kit, the undercarraige slots into place so i can display the models on cabinet wheels down then in few years it can go inflight in the garage both styles look fantastic, lovely aircraft Flat coat then some subtle weathering, not going overboard this time......maybe MikeMaben, johncrow, Anthony in NZ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
