Dave_R Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi All Possibly the most famous of the shark-mouthed aircraft - the P-40. The nose profile practically makes teeth compulsory. It looks like it going to be a nice quick build, the only thing that needs adding is some PE seat belts and later on a ring gunsight - I think I can find one of those in the spares box.

Basilisk Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Great choice. The P-40 has to be the most used aircraft to be decorated with a Sharkmouth and should be a popular subject in this GB. I too will build the Airfix P-40 in AVG colours, but from a different airframe. Will follow your build with intrest. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi All, The cockpit is done. The level of detail is quite good - apart from the lack seat belts, I've added a set of Eduard USAAF seat belts. Dave. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hi All, It's been a good long while since I last updated this build but it is still progressing slowly. ...and some paint. ...masked for airbrushing ...and unmasked A lot of updates in one go but I've been working on this along with my other builds and I sort of forgot to post the photos. There shouldn't be a problem finishing this in time but I've got a lot of other things on the go. Dave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi All, Now with sharkmouth. There's a bit more to do, but it should be done in time. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
