KUROK

I'm always game for another Warhawk from JohnB. BTW, I need a resin K tail for a project I'm planning to do one day. I thought I would do it myself with scrap plastic and putty...but who am I kidding? This resin tail will just save time and hassle.

Great job on this!

Great job and very colorful subject. Did you to the mottling freehand with the airbrush? I just don't trust my skills yet on that.

Cool looking paint scheme choice. Looking forward to your RFI....tomorrow! LOL

I love the glossy overall Oxford Blue RAAF Sea Fury with the white spinner. https://images.app.goo.gl/utcqeoTHxYNYZH8z9

You did it right. Years ago, I went to Middlesboro, Kentucky, to see the P-38 that was pulled out of the glacier...."Glacier Girl". I saw the original US ARMY on the wing. It looked like a very very dark blue to my eye.

It does look better with a thicker prop, that's for sure. Hasegawa never corrected that narrow prop and it really looks wrong on the later marks...like the N.

Your prop mods look very nice. Those early war E models did come with a narrow chord prop. So if you wanted to stay with the original and save your resin ones for another warhawk...you could.

Great job and Testors MM looks great. Wish they were still in production.

I read Morehead's book some years ago. It was good! He did think the P-40 was a dog, though.

Great job, JohnB. Love those NMF P-40s!

He must've done it so you could offset the rudder for a natural look?

Long delay due to lots of other things going on with work/family. Can I get my mojo back? Well, here are the wonderful Airscale heavy paper seat belts for your perusal:

Great start! I built the Eduard 1/48 mk IX and it was an absolute joy. So I have really coveted the Tamiya mk IX (and now the Airfix 1/24 mk IX). I will watch your build with interest.

Interesting conversion. These are different and fun to see!
