Have you done the GWH P-40?

Love your P-40 builds.

Slow and steady. Been watching the kiddo while the wife works these last fee days so very little airbrushing. Mostly constructing pieces for paint later. Seat and cockpit ready for paint and Quinta interior. Gear has hopefully final coating of white on it. Drop tanks are mostly done, just need another misting of grey to tone down a few places. Primed the tail and horizontal stabilizers. Seems like little progress but it's all a step in the right direction.

Good morning and Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with friends and family. May your stocking be stuffed with Tamiya extra thin and a Border Models box be under your tree!

I have two Tamiya P-51s that I want to have going past the train right after a strafing attack. The would be very low level so making the train seem much smaller wouldn't work. I like that the diorama would be longer in design than wider. Fits in my available display space easier that way.

Those prices are pretty crazy! Seems like I'll cut my teeth on the Trumpeter BR52 Kreigslocomotive.

Are the few Trumpeter offerings of 1/35 locomotives the only real choice for WW2 German locomotives? Got another diorama idea I'd like to knock out ( trying to add some "life" to my building now. I don't know poo diddly about anything other than aircraft. Really need to keep it 1/35 or 1/32 for subjects other than aircraft.

.

Might still do an Avenger instead. Tough choices!

Definitely 1/32. I think the Swordfish will be perfect for it. Imposing but not obscene in it's size. Thank you all so much for the help and ideas! Now to track down a Swordfish.

I had the light bulb moment for a build I am really excited to try. But here's the rub, I'm not sure exactly what plane and kit to go with. I need something single engine that would be sub hunting in the Atlantic. It can be US or British. I want to keep it single engine because a Lanc or B-17 would be to big for my diorama idea. Any ideas on planes and kits that would work for this?

Hazel is a beautiful scheme. We can't get the new 1/32 Eduard B model soon enough!

Not much to report that really shows, but making good progress just cutting, gluing, and prepping for paint. Finally got all my tools repurchased and I'm set to work normally again. I have a few more days off before it's back to the cockpit to earn some "dollar bucks" for you fellas with a Bluey fan as a kiddo. Hopefully I can prime some of this before I do head back.

So sorry to hear that. I always got a chuckle at the picture of her tucked back in the kits.

Hubert that is amazing. Your a kind and gracious soul.
