P40-N-1 "come in suckers" 1/48

my latest.........

and she is done






now i enjoy a build...and this has been a fun one.....but the research on this has been just as much fun,the real pane still exists and is flying in canada in a desert scheme.
but it's own story is interesting,like all P40n's it was delivered in overall olive drab,buyt it was repainted in foliage green and RAAF dark earth with sky undersides once she arrived here,before being assigned to 78 sqn once the sqn was sent into action in PNG the white leading edges and tail were done,the leading edges were quite probably free handed,so i tried to replicate that including the overspray on the fuselage.

apperently the spinner was painted white later in it's career so i went with that option to add a little something to it .


the kit is an AMT P40-n converted to an N-1(it's pretty easy,just need to get the correct canopies) the decals are by DK decals.

Nicely done! It also makes a bit of a change from the shark mouth markings.
