Republic P-43 Lancer, 1/48, Dora Wings


Recommended Posts

Very nice build, perfect NMF.

If I may tell something on the kit itself  - I am not sure if the canopy shape is ok. The movable part has here concave last windows, when (like later with P47) they seems to be simply flat like I can observe here (am I alone in this?):

or even better (due to light reflection) here

So I am sorry to say - maybe it is too late to correct canopy and you simply made room for aftermarket companies...

Cheers

Swastika was a symbol used in different cultures from always before Nazi defiled it. Also in North American tribes.
