Martinnfb Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 , Although Special Hobby makes P-36A in the Pearl Harbour livery. Pilot should be wearing his purple PJ's as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Guys, I'm just looking for a shelf queen for my son inlaw. Nothing fancy....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 There are none, Harv. Unless you want to build the crappy Trumpeter kit that is the only one. The P-40s there were NMF I believe, and that will be a pain in the ass with the Trumpy kit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Is the Trumpeter kit really that bad?  Is it the shape or rivets over done? Or both? I’ve got the kit, never opened it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The overall shape isn't bad but the rivets are brutal. Plus the radio hatch door is a very thick plate more than a hatch. The exhaust stacks are a pain to assemble. Someone made resin replacements but I don't recall who. Not one of the big players. The biggie is the way too shallow cockpit floor. The new kit from Great Wall actually had the floor as the top of the wing like it is in reality. The only AM cockpit that I've found that is the correct depth is the PE one made by Part. Everyone else's isn't truly the right depth. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too expensive to my liking on first sight. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
