oppenheimer Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have been working on the fuselage paint and some weathering, you can see the sub assemblies of the model so far a closeup of the fuselage, next step is to paint the bottom gray and decals and overall look of the model with all the modules on and with the the engine nose section Gazzas, Troy Molitor, Trak-Tor and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waroff Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 it's beautyfull!..... nice work the carburator airscoop do not exist as GWH shows it and the baffles in front of coolers are in the cowl, when it was removed the coolers are whitout these deflector. the fuel overflow stains was not below the fuel hole made in the glass because there were 9 drain holes 1/4" at the bottom of the rear vision frame and the fuel and oil leak out by these drains 6 inches apart.

TIA Quote similar to curtiss 75 (drawing), the bottom of the rear window frame on P40B/C and H81, had also nine drain 1/4" holes, and 6" apart, but fluids drain through only some of the holes giving the impression of only three or four holes and the drain holes on P40/H81 window frame Edited February 3, 2023 by waroff MikeMaben, Tolga ULGUR, LSP_Kevin and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, about the technical specs of the airplane i don't know much, i am just using a reference picture of the actual airplane as you can see in the photo, also there are other 3 fuel stains in the fuselage matching the holes you are talking about About the engine, i just place it on the airplane just to show the exchangeable nose section offered by the kit, at the end the engine will be placed next to the aircraft and not on the aircraft. best regards Jorge Dpgsbody55, KUROK, levier and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUROK Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Even the later Kittyhawk could have this massive leak if the crew were careless about the oil cap seal. Seems if one of the two tines did not make proper insertion, it could leak profusely: https://youtu.be/UnvLdGd4-HE Edited February 4, 2023 by KUROK D.B.
