Airfix P-40 - AVG finish


Recommended Posts

This is the first finished build for the year. I picked this up at Hobby Lobby, excited about the new Airfix mold. I would highly recommend this kit, as the cockpit/interior is a dream to build. Not quite a weekend build, but start to finish was less than a week.

Nice build.

 

I agree Mark, I built mine as a Tomahawk and it is a good kit, only spoilt a little by the slightly over fed tyres. You might consider matting down the finish a little?

 

Cheers

This is a wonderful job! I like your subtle wear and weathering.  I recently got this kit myself and I'm looking forward to doing it even more now! :) The Chinese decals in my kit have such a light blue, I can hardly make out the star.  Yours look a lot better.  I was doing some research to see what color it was supposed to be because I have some darker blue ones I can use.  I wish mine looked like yours!

Very nice build.

I agree it is an excellent kit.

You did a nice job.

I could not get the flat spots on the tyres to lie flat to the ground.

For some reason mine looked a little rocked back on its heels (so-to-speak).

Anyway, well done.
