ade rowlands Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Will watch this one closely. I quite like the look of the kit and it may well be my next purchase, though waiting to see if there will be an RAF Version released at some point. npb748r and Tolga ULGUR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks for your comments. The kit is really impressive, fitting is great. Well we will see the result. And one question. What should be the color of the seat? Kit s guide say interior green, but I have doubts it might be aluminium color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 It is an awesome kit! Building mine as a Pearl Harbor P-40 with Jennings decals. They are super cool as well. Cheers...Ron Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUROK Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Tolga, those canvas liners in the wheel wells would be khaki color? Unless Curtiss went ahead and shot them with Interior green. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Curtiss went ahead and shot them with Interior green. Yes, the color of the canvas is khaki according to the GWH construction manual and the color of the wheel well is int green. I don't know this is correct or not. if someone clarify this I can fix them before it's too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Canvas cover was khaki. One can see the wheel wells underneath in zinc chromate… or Curtiss light green.

Tolga ULGUR Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Upper and lower wing parts went together. Fitting is absolutely perfect. But I did not like photo etched covers on the surface of the wings. They are too thin, fragile and ready to be deformed. Wish they were resin or plastic. Maybe master modellers like and prefer this kind of PE materials, but I do not. Alex, scvrobeson, Rocat and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
