Bodmin Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Another 1:72 offering, this time the Airfix 1/72 Warhawk. Built straight out of the box using Humbrol enamels and the colour call out in the instructions. Made a bit of a botch when doing the decals, a) surface not smooth enough to avoid silvering and b) didn't put a thick enough protective coat when doing some post decal masking (tape peel of some decal) and maybe a bit more care on the transparencies. More lessons learnt. Neat little kit, and I enjoyed the build on the whole. 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russmeister 101 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Great finish on this P-40 As for the decals - I see an area of paintwork that had to be touched up due to battle damage... Bravo that man!! 🏆👏 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo that man!! 🏆👏 Thanks, I suppose that's the advantage off doing warplanes. I can always through in the battle damage card 😄 Edited August 18, 2022 by Bodmin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Can't say why exactly, but I love the early P-40's in the olive drab finish. Yours is a beautiful example! A very nice build indeed. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Dangit. I built and painted the exact same model, and yours ended up looking better than mine! Very jealous. Nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markh-75 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thats looking great! fantastic job! Those little side windows can be a pane can't they? I had to carefully shave the ones on my P-40's until they sank in properly. Great job sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
