All done. Repainted with Testor's and Colourcoats. Decals are Eaglecals except for the national insignia which are Tamiya. I tried not to overdo the weathering and I think I got it done okay. Used but not abused as they say. I hope y'all like the way it turned out. 🙂

I think this is about as far as I'll go with the weathering. Still have a good bit to do before I can call it done. 🙂

Thanks Hubert. There is a lot more to do but I'm being careful not to get carried away (as some builds I've seen).😀

Making some progress on weathering but still a long way to go. I hope I'm not over doing it! 🙄

A few adjustments made. Tomorrow I'll start on some weathering.

One of the first things I'll do is remove the white circular marking. Tried it to see if it looked okay but decided to remove it.

Finished with decaling. Now for some serious weathering. 🙂

I got the bug for another Birdcage build but I don't have one 🙄. As a alternative I decided to re do this one to a VMF 213 a/c named Gus's Gopher. This is it's current status with nearly all of the decals in place. I intend to do another FAA bird but will probably use a -1A and make the needed adjustments (clipped wings, etc). Stay tuned.

It's possible it's Dark Mediterranean Blue which was used on some of those a/c. I had to do some searching to find a source and came up with "Arcus" made in "EU". I don't know for certain but it's worth checking out.

Thank you Hubert. I tried to get a decent weathered OD instead of just overall clean OD. 🙂

Thanks Chris! I'm glad you like it. 🙂

Thanks Paul. Another P-40 done for the collection. 🙂

Thanks Martin. 🙂

That's nice of you to say that Kevin. I'm glad you like it. Thank you!🙂

All done. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20525-p-40e-scott-finished/

All done with this one. FineMolds belts are the only after market items. Otherwise OOB. Painted with Testors, Tamiya, and Compucolor. Markings are mostly kit decals and some from my decal stash. These Hasegawa P-40's are enjoyable builds and build up to be nice models. I hope you like it. 🙂

I look forward to seeing your P-40 build. I have no doubt it will be a beaut! 🙂

Yes indeed Martin, thanks. I'll spray some clear gloss today and start decaling. Just might have it finished some time tomorrow. 🙂

Painting well under way.

Good progress. Next I'll paint the undersides.

Thank you Hubert! I'm glad you like it. 🙂

Making some progress.

That would be good. How did you come by that info?

Thanks Martin. I wish Hasegawa would re-release their "M", "K", and "N" kits. Those are getting harder to find and when you do find one it's not cheap unfortunately. I have their "N" 15,000 anniversary kit which I have up for sale. I'll either sell it or build it. 🙂
