Eli Raphael Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Hi all, Can't seem to find the Hase release. Anyone know what needs to be altered to the Echo kit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Depends - do you want a short-tailed K with fin fillet, or the long-tailed version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Ok stand by, I'll need to dive into my refs and refresh my memory. Eli Raphael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) And dive duly done. As far as I can see the main difference between the E and the K was the engine. As an aside, the longer tail came in with the P-40K-10-CU, before that was the short tail with a fillet. The E's engine was a V-1710-39, the K was powered by a V-1710-73; I am not an engine expert so I have no idea what the differences were, sorry. Both could carry a centre-line tank or bomb, both carried 6 x 0.5" guns. Externally, I think the only noticeable difference was the early K's fin fillet. This comes from a spreadsheet I put together of P-40 variants way back in my 1:48 days: my main sources for that were www.p40warhawk.com and the IPMS Stockholm site. My spreadsheet and therefore this info may well be incomplete, so anyone more knowledgeable than I reading this, please do chip in. Nevertheless, hope this is helpful.

thierry laurent Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Unfortunately the short tail with a fillet was noticeably different and out of my memory such tail parts were only in the P-40K release. D Bellis, Eli Raphael and KiwiZac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine was different, but not visibly so. The early "short tail" K had a much wider fin, not just a 'fillet'. This is the early K fin: Compare that to the E fin (which was structurally the same as that used on the later "long tail" versions): Hasegawa provided different parts for the aft fuselage/fin to cover the E, K and also the later "long tail" versions.

LSP_Ron Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 It can be easily done with some plycard and milliput. I did one with the Hase E years ago. Eli Raphael and KUROK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
