Always happy to see another P-40, especially one with extra work and bits being put in! Eagerly anticipating the next update.

 

Also as a Kiwi I love the box art. I'd love that on my wall.

nice work on the pit.
he rear deck had no straight edges because the both side were concaves.
this deck was made of three part, 1 top and 2 sides. Both sides had two horizontal stiffeners. the top had transversal stiffeners.
This deck was painted dark olive drab 613
