tonyot Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Nice one Steve, I usually find Russian arctic schemes a bit boring but you`ve done a great job on this little Tomahawk, the weathing is great, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caszerino Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Excellent stuff. In these examples (Russian winter camo overpaints) I usually feel like the weathering is too overdone, but here it looks quite realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Very nice work, Steve! I have two winter-camouflaged P-40's in my ever-growing "I really need to finish this" stash. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys,I forgot to mention I had three attempts at rigging the distinctive wing to tail wires seen on the P40 so in the end gave up and for now are leaving them off until I find a better solution than my usual stretch sprue,and thanks Aldi for three of them at £2:49 each! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally use one of my daughter's hair to do the job. I soak it in water and use CA (very sparingly) to glue it on, which by the way dries very quick on it. Once the hair has dried, it will tighten up and keep in tension (hope it makes sense). If you look at the RE2002 in my signature you can see it (it took me two attempts, in that case, because the first time I didn't soak it properly) HTH Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
