Thanks Carl!

Thank you Peter. I'm glad you like it.

Looks good Peter!!!

Finished. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19790-sh-p-400-done/

Another P-39/P-400 done.

This kit originally was a P-39N/Q but I decided to build it as a P-400. That doesn't call for any big modifications just leave off the .50 wing mounts and replace the kit exhausts with P-400 type exhausts. I don't have any of that type and that is why I've asked here for some help. ZILCH so far.

Thanks Ernie.

Agreed Ernie, thanks. Too bad Trumpeter do it right in the first place.

I'm pleased that you like them Peter, thanks!!

I agree Dennis. I does stand out nicely.

Just for grins I decided to post some shots of both my P-51B conversions. The base kit was the Trumpeter kit. The nose on the USAAF a/c is from a Revell "D". The nose on the RAF a/c is from a old Monogram kit. I hope you enjoy perusing 'em. Please remember to click on the 1st photo for best resolution and to view the photos as a slide show. (Yes, it makes a big difference!)

Thank you Harv!

I built their -5 Profipack kit a while back and thought I'd follow up with another but , as things go sometimes, I decided to take a different route and work on something else for now.

Temporarily on hold.

Good luck!

More info here: This model was used as the base kit.

Here ya go Jack. Maybe this will answer your questions. The cockpit is after market but I don't recall which company.

Thank you Jack. I'm pleased you like it. Kinda colorful isn't it?

This will be my 2nd Hellcat by Eduard and was inspired by this beautiful colorized photo. Really nice colorization work! Should make a good looking model. I find that these two Hellcats were F6F-5P photo recon birds. Do any of you know of a detail set for the -5P?

You are welcome! I look forward to seeing a Corsair build from you before long.

Thanks. Really can't do much when your compressor flakes out.

Thanks Kevin! I'm glad you like it. The build certainly did have it's "moments" as I had to set it aside a couple of times. LOL

Thank you Peter. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I think the main thing I like about acrylics is they dry faster than enamels. I don't intend to go all acrylics but will use them some depending on the application.

Thank you Carl. Maybe some day Tamiya/Hasegawa/Revell ??? will bring us a nice 1/32 kit so we don't have to go to all the trouble of grafting a accurate nose on to a less than accurate Trumpeter kit. 🙄

Done and RFI. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19761-p-51b-conversion-2-completed/
