Thanks Mike!

Coming along nicely.

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

Thanks Ernie. Sure, go ahead on.

Just so you know, the P-40 is done and in RFI.

LOL!!!!

Thanks Rob. I'm glad you like the results of my efforts. Lulu Belle will look good for sure! Remember that the name should be yellow and not white. Here's the one I built a while back.

Thanks guys. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. Very eye catching.

Thanks Gaz!!!!

This is the Hasegawa/Eduard kit. Mostly OOB but I replaced the kit prop with one from my spares stash which is more accurate. Everything else, including PE seat belts (which I am not a big fan of) came in the kit. The undersides are "painted" believe it or not, with Alclad Gloss Primer Grey. The top surfaces camo is MM OD 34087 and Dk. Green 34092. A real nice kit and easy to build. I hope you like it.

Thanks Phil. I agree. Extensive "spares" can come to the rescue in many cases. I've saved left over kit parts for MANY years.

I was hoping to find a Grey Matter prop somewhere but had no luck. I looked in my spares stash and lo and behold I found what I think is a prop from the Trumpeter SBD kit which will fill the bill just fine.

I'm trying my best to hold off on getting this kit until some after market decals are available. The schemes provided just don't do it for me.

Thanks! I guess I'll try to tone the weathering down some but it is necessary to some extent.

I need this for my RNZAF P-40 build.

Thanks Martin. I expect they used more than one type of drop tank. At any rate, I don't intend to attach anything to the shackles.

Thank you Jeff.

Thanks Gaz!!!

I'm glad you like it. It's good to know it is still around, even in pieces.

Thank you Harv! I didn't realize when I first started on this one that it would be so striking. Sho be's purty! LOL

Thanks Anthony. I'm pleased with it too. I almost hate to do any weathering! LOL

Finished with the decals. Now for some paint touch-up and a bit of weathering.

Alclad Kleer Kote Flat is my go-to matt coat. Works great.

Thanks. Sorry for the crappy photo. Working on that.

Getting there!
