Gerhard Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I just found one review of the Trumpeter kit which points out a few things that aren't best, but what makes it 'god-awful' in your eyes? I found a 1/24 kit... looked kinda scary. Link to the 1/24 please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi, as promised, I checked and the Trumpeter has indeed the P-36/H-75 elevators. You will find here plans comparing them: http://www.geocities.jp/yoyuso/p40b/p40b-1.html And here is a TM view of the correct elevator shape: http://www.p40warhawk.com/Models/Technical/Tail/Elevator.gif I also found that old analysis made by Steve Gallaci. It explains the weird shapes issues I mentioned: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=18110 I have the Craftworks kit as well and the shapes look better even if, as Iain kit showed it, the Chinese kit LOOKS like an early P-40. Moreover, that resin kit is a true dog to build. I guess that comparing pictures, plans and the Trumpeter, Craftworks and later Hasegawa P-40 kits is probably the best way to get the final word on that. I hope this helps.

MikeMaben Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi Thierry, I took the kit parts (Hstab and elevator taped together) and laid it on his drawing (his own with no reference) and they are veerrrry close, as was the Detail & Scale drawing comparison. thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
