Reini78 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 the rear cockpit and tail section joints aren´t panel lines, only rivet lines, therefore some filling and sanding there to make the lines more subtle DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Although the P-40 is not a subject I'm normally interested in your father's addition of a Soviet scheme has caught my attention. Off to a good start again as always 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Excellent progress. I'm doing an P-40N in the Curtiss GB so will be watching with interest. Watch out for the wing joint. Mine needed filler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch out for the wing joint. Mine needed filler. My dad usually uses masking tape like shown in the pic. That way, the fuselage-wing joints get pressed together and hardly leave a gap. DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr Maybe some minor filler, like with most models, will be neccessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speculation is grey AMT-11 over blue AMT-7, which seem reasonable. Hope of interest? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you mentioned, never trust a profile 😉 Usually you see white, olive or two tone camos and we decided he should do a non standard scheme, and the tiger stands out too 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 on the pics of the original, the area behind the cockpit looks way darker than the exterior colour, so it seems they kept the original (most probably) olive DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
