I'm glad you like it Kevin, thanks.

Thank you Dennis. It was a fun "spare parts" challenge and I'm pleased with the results. 🙂

Finished and RFI. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20465-frankenstein-p-40-done/

When I decided to start this build I wasn't sure I had all the needed pieces. I'm pleased I was able to complete it although I had to scratch a right LG/wing knuckle cover. I think it turned out well considering what I had to work with. No after market except for the PE gun sight on the cowling so I guess it's a OOB build. LOL Painted with Xtracolor and Floquil. Decals are from the kit. I hope y'all like it! 🙂

I didn't intend for it to be in the GB. I don't think CBI qualifies for that. Needs to be changed.

LOL Kevin. That ought to be a really nice one with the shark mouth. 🙂

Thanks Dennis. I'm a bit surprised it came together as well as it did. I intend to finish it today. 🙂

Thanks Carl. When I started this I didn't know for sure I had all the needed parts. Except for that LG/wing piece everything was there surprisingly. 🙂

Me too Kevin. I added the "eyes" and the rest of the teeth decals so now it's time for some clear flat over spray. As usual I'll use Alclad clear flat. I hope to be finished or close to it tomorrow some time.

The painting, with Xtracolor, is done so now it's time for some decals. Then it'll be over sprayed with clear flat and some exhaust stains, etc.

Yes indeed Martin. I see the wheel covers had stars. They aren't included on the decal sheet so I'll have to look through my decal stash to see if I can come up with some. 🙂

Thank you Peter. Neither had I but decided to give it a try since it looked like I had enough parts to do it. 🙂

I'm glad you have decided to resume posting, etc. I hope all goes well. 🙂

I've decided to use the kit decals to do this a/c.

Agreed Paul. I wasn't sure how well it would go when I started it but I'm pleased that it has come along okay (so far).🙂

Thanks Martin. It's a new "adventure" for sure and one I'm enjoying.

Thanks Hubert. Yep, I knew that but decided to let that sleeping dog lie! LOL I can live with it. 🙂

Wings and fuselage joined together. Next is filling in those gaps on the roots and fuselage side.

Did a little more work on this area. Mo betta I think.

Thanks but there's more work to be done........🙄

I hope to get it a little better than that Kevin. Right now I know it still has some "issues" but I plan to address those shortly.

Yes there are a couple of spots that need additional attention. I'm just glad to have been able to get it this far!

I used a piece of a drop tank to make the knuckle cover. Far from perfect but better than nothing.

Gluing in some "base" strip plastic that I will spread putty over and sand to shape. I'll see about the "knuckle" piece after that is done.

Thanks Martin. I think I have some of that but will need to check. Thanks again.
