Revell 1/144 P-40E Warhawk


Recommended Posts

An absolute pig of a kit OOB!! I love the P-40 so I decided to spruce it up a bit. I drilled out the intake and put some detail in there. I also added the radiator flaps and set them in the open position, (yes, they were individually made and glued on...) the undercarriage doors had to be made as the kit didn't come with any. The tail wheel was made from scrap plastic bits and the guns were made by drilling and gluing in a section of bristle from a cleaning brush.


Brush painted with Revell acrylics, spayed with a top coat of Tamiya satin varnish and weathered with pastels.


P.S. Canopy was awful, it doesn't have a smooth finish to the glazing and even has an air bubble on the starboard side!!

Speedman,

Cracking job on a tiny aircraft! I have a few of the Revell Micro Wings re-issues and they do indeed look a bit rough. You have done a fine job on yours.

regards,

Martin
