tonyot Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Nice job Dennis, I have a soft spot for the P-40`s and P-39`s which were finished in this `coral' scheme, Cheers Tony PS,..... A tip with that gap below the slid back canopy,....... add a narrow length of plastic card behind the cockpit rim,.....it acts as the canopy runner and blocks the see through appearance,..... I hope you don`t mind me saying this mate? Edited April 1, 2018 by tonyot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweener Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Looks very nice! I've been reading about this plane lately while debating whether or not to refurbish an old monogram P-40N. It was one of my earlier builds so I think it'll stay as is for now. That and it has no canopy- I don't care to drop 20$ for a replacement part from a 4$ kit. That said, I'm certainly inspired to build another P-40 now. Perhaps after the P-6E, P-12E, P-26, Y1A-8, and A-12. Can't wait to see your next build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed maybe in the wanted section when/if you have your 100 posts. 4 minutes ago, Tweener said: Can't wait to see your next build. The next builds already going but its an F-18C hornet. Heres a link if you’re interested. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235035971-“mad-as-a-hornet”/ Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Nice one, Dennis. I’m currently reading The Flying Tiger-J Samson. Good book about Claire Chennault. No Ns but enough about the P-40 to pique my interest. Maybe after the Corsair(s) and Bearcat. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after the Corsair(s) and Bearcat. Oh now that would be fun to follow. The old monogram now Revell P-40B is supposed to be fairly accurate in its shapes/dimensions. It really deserves to have a real build like your others. Edited April 9, 2018 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 5 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: that would be fun Yes it would. In my early teens one of my favourite kits was the Monogram Speedee Bilt P-40. Balsa, tissue and a couple of plastic bits, if I remember. Shark mouth of course and rubber band powered. Didn't fly very well, too heavy, sort of a controlled crash. I think the John Wayne movie about the Flying Tigers was a big influence. I must see if I can get a copy of that film. Corsair coming right along. Fuselage halves together, etc. Pics in a couple of days. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
