Hi Folk's,aother little build will be Airfix's excellent P-40 at the time of Pearl Harbour December 1941.

This is my 5th build of this kit and may not be the last!

Looks really great in the temporary winter white! I think I might have to do one of these!

 

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Steve. Great to see you are building another kit for this GB!! You got a fantastic result with your Russian version in its winter finish! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this latest build of the kit - and it looks like you are off to a good start already!

Kind regards,

Stix

Thank's Stix I got into a 1/32 run of kits a few months ago and a bit bogged down so these cheap new tool Airfix kits are a tonic,

might do one or two more for this GB.

Hi folk's,primed yesterday and today the upper and lower colours sprayed each using two or three shades to break up the look,I'll gloss

her tomorrow and put a couple of washes in before decals and matt coat.

Looking great. As there's already one of these lurking in the gallery (mine) I'm paying particular interest 😁

 

I didn't think to do that bit behind the rearmost glazing interior green (I just did it OD), but it makes sense!
