Lovely build and lovely job on the faded olive drab camo . I have the same kit in my stash waiting to be done. Was also going to Lulu belle just because the plane and pilots are part of such a great history . I have read that Eduard got one thing wrong in they the letters “ Lule Belle” were yellow and not white as per the Eduard decals. Can anyone confirm it this is true?

That is a very realistic finish, it looks just right to me

 

Cheers

Very nice kit! Alas you cannot conclude anything from that picture as it has been colorized.

There are no color photos to “prove” it, but our research indicated to us that it most assuredly was not white.  It was our research that lead to the conclusion that the insignias were outlined in blue as well (based on personal emails).  Eduard, ahem..., seems to have borrowed from us.

 

In any event, a very nicely done model!  Gorgeous paint work.

Exceptional paint job, the fading is extremely well done.  The marking are pretty cool as well,

Thak you all, I'm happy that you like my P-40

I don't care about yellow or white, colorized or not, I just enjoy the pics of a fantastic model which looks perfect to

me in all respects
