CheshireGap Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Finally got round to taking the pictures so here it...overall this is a good kit with a bit of fettling, I tried to make this as accurate a representation of #68 and then blew it by copying the camo layout from the masking set I bought only to discover later it was the wrong layout 🤔 and I didn't even use the masks, they were a long way from fitting! I made a couple of controversial choices based on photos, such as no Chinese star on the starboard wing and no aerial wire to the port wing which I think are sound, and tried to include the big fuel stain on the fuselage that is so prominent in photographs but the camo issue leaves me tempted to buy another and do it properly...WiP is here DSCF6049_2-1024x682 DSCF6049_2-1024x682 DSCF6060_1-1024x682 DSCF6067_1-1024x682 Different camera different white balance, I genuinely don't have the patience to match them, but these being off my beloved Pentax, trust me they are closer to the model IMGP221300-1024x680 IMGP221400-1024x680 IMGP222600-1024x680 Edited March 25, 2019 by CheshireGap added WIP link 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have seen a good number of P40’s here by talented people but this takes the award for realism and subtlety. Very very nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Trust me there was lots of dry-fitting and trimming! The whole kit needs a lot of it but if you take the time the result is worth it. Thanks everyone for the kind comments! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
