Thank you Peter. I'll overspray the prop with clear flat to get rid of that glossy area. This kit is practically falling together. As close to a shake and bake as you can get!

Making some progress.

Thanks Kevin. I'm pleased that you like the results of my efforts.

Agreed. I think I might still have a couple in my stash somewhere! LOL

Those Hasegawa P-40's are really easy builds. No big snags, etc.

Thank you Peter!

Yes indeed. I built that one too. Wonder what became of Otaki?

This one's been on the shelf for a good while so I think I'll build it now. Will be mostly OOB and as "Wairarapa Wildcat" using kit decals. Should be a easy straight forward build.

Thanks Gaz! I'm glad you like the results of my efforts. The nice comments here really make building more of a pleasure.

Thanks Kai.

Thank you!!!!

Thanks Phil. It's a resin piece I got from Squadron a few years ago. You might be able to find one on ebay.

Thank you Rob. I'm pleased that you like it.

Thanks Dennis! I find it attractive also. Not a real "easy" build in some areas such as the landing gear. That nose gear always gives me fits!

All done. Check Finished Works.

I'm calling this one done. As per all my 1/32 P-39 builds I added the 3/16" "plug" to the rear fuselage so the length was correct. Seat belts are Fine Molds, wheels, instrument panel, seat and a few other odds and ins are from the Kitty Hawk kit. Gun barrels are tubing from my stash. Painted with MM 34087 OD and 36231 Dk. Gull Gray. The interior is what was called "Bell Green" and I mixed several colors of MM to come up with my "interpretation" of the proper color as compared to photos. Decals are from the KH kit (thanks Peter!) except for the national insignias which are Super Scale. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts. Please remember to click on the photos for best resolution and to view as a slide show.

Thank you Harv.

Thanks Kevin. Some times a good color scheme can make a not-so-good-looking a/c look pretty good! LOL

So far so good Peter. Those kit decals are awfully thin and delicate but, so far, they are behaving okay.

Thanks Gaz. I think the end results will look very nice!

Thanks Peter. I just finished applying the clear gloss a few minutes ago. When that's dry, etc it'll be time to start with the decals.

Thanks Kai. I agree. I like the look of the white on OD.

Fresh out of the paint shop! (Remember to click on the photo for a clearer image.)

Getting there Peter.

LOL
