Thanks! I'm glad you like the way it turned out. I tried not to overdo the weathering. 🙂

I've had this one in my stash for quite some time. Since I'm not getting any younger I guess it's time to build it. I anticipate it to be fairly straight forward (fingers crossed). I've seen several built up (1/48 and 1/32) and they make a really impressive model. Right now I'm just perusing everything and getting set to do some preliminary cleanup and then start on the cockpit. Looks to be crisply molded with no bad "uh oh's". 🙂

Scott, Please PM me a link to his site. My inbox is now cleared. Thanks! John

In box was full. Try again. 🙄

Thanks Reuben. I'm getting nice responses on this I'm pleased to say.

Thanks Scott! Very much appreciated!!!

If anyone has any of these that you are willing to sell or trade send me a PM. I hope to find some with affordable prices, etc. Thanks

Thanks Kevin. I'm happy you like it. 🙂

I just noticed there's a "Show Me" catagory here and that reminded me of this: If you ever watched the TV Show "Fringe" (I was a big fan) you might remember when anyone on "the other side" was asked for a ID they had to present their "Show Me" card. Also, there was a large corporation called "Massive Dynamic". I decided to get a Show Me card and a Massive Dynamic ID card just for grins.🙂 Pretty cool I think. The "Fringe" web site might still have these available if anyone is interested in getting one. Great mementos to have as I loved that show and it's cast, especially Walter Bishop (John Noble). I wish they'd do a new followup series or maybe at least a movie.

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/
