gregg136 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 That looks brilliant, I love the paint job on it and the classic sharks mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 A bit later than promised but she is finished! Also waited a day for better light for my average photos. The final bits for this took me a bit longer than I thought (isn't that always the case?) but I am quite happy with hos she has turned out. After the matt coat was applied I added a bit more in the way of exhaust and gun staining and toned down the wing roundels a bit, aerial wires were added in the same way as my Warhawk. I have put some pictures in the gallery but here are some more, starting with the reason I chose this scheme in the first place, the awesome shark mouth! A huge thank you to all of you who have popped in on the build and kept me on track and commented or liked my posts, as usual all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautifully modelled Craig, it looks just right, both inspiration and a great example for my own P-40. Super work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great shark mouth design isn't it, 112 sqn had a few different designs at the time but I think this one is the most fearsome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 She looks superb mate, and I think your photos are better than average The additions of the gunsights is a nice touch, though I think I'll pass on trying to get them on my 1/72 build James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchmirth Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Looks superb! If mine turns out half as good as this one I’ll be seriously chuffed! Great result with the weathering too. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
