It's actually completed now - so more photos a bit later.
Prop has been tipped, and final coat of matt is drying.

I'm going to have to build this kit again now - looking for the USAAC kit.

As usual with Britmodeller - it's been a blast, but this is Tim signing off.

My thanks to mungo1974, Wyverns4, and Dazdot for hosting this GB - it encouraged me to build that Tomahawk kit that was such a bargain when I bought it.

Thanks to Mish for organising us, and positive comments. We don't thank you enough Mish.

To everybody else who contributed to the thread with encouragement or questions - it all adds value to the GB experience for me.

Thanks to Casemate for providing a worthy prize in sponsorship of this GB.

Finally to everybody building Curtiss P-40 models as a result of this GB - well done to you all.

Hi Plasticsurgeon,

A belated welcome to the group build and congratulations on finishing so quickly. She really is a looker and as Mungo stated there is something poetic about a 112 sqn P-40 being the first finished.

Following a Facebook thread - I realised this aircraft should have a red spinner.

Compromised by Airfix only supplying 4 colours with this Starter Kit - they also issued misleading painting instructions.

Revisited and corrected.
