Philtheplanetinker Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hi guys, So this is my first post as a newbie on here, it's my Hasegawa P40e Warhawk that was purchased as a Easter present from my lovely lady. I'll put some photos of bits and bobs that I have done up to now as I'm nearly finished so it's not that detailed a walk through I'm afraid. I would say I think she paid about £20 for it and it's a great little kit to be fair and has been an enjoyable build. The detail is good especially the landing gears. I had a lot of filling and rubbing to do on the fuselage as the tail end is separate, in highnsight I probably should have glued half the tail onto each fuselage half first then put them together but there you go. Hopefully you'll see these pictures: As you can hopefully see I have painted the shark mouth rather than go with the decal and the aux tank and gears are on, just a few more bits and pieces and a little weathering and it should be done. Thanks for viewing. Phil 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingdutchman Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Very nice Warhawk, the shark mouth is very realistic. Much better than the usual decals. Evert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
