Frankenstein P-40 done

[JohnB]

When I decided to start this build I wasn't sure I had all the needed pieces. I'm pleased I was able to complete it although I had to scratch a right LG/wing knuckle cover. I think it turned out well considering what I had to work with. No after market except for the PE gun sight on the cowling so I guess it's a OOB build. LOL Painted with Xtracolor and Floquil. Decals are from the kit. I hope y'all like it! 🙂

I like it a lot John, an impressive feat of modelling even if it was out of the box rather than a spare parts challenge.

Cheers

Thank you Dennis. It was a fun "spare parts" challenge and I'm pleased with the results. 🙂

I’ve always heard one cannot make chicken salad from chicken s*!t.  But damnit, that looks very tasty!  Color me impressed John.  A true scrap yard restoration!

Beautiful John and extra nice on the IP.  Wow.  Just have to love an AVG P-40.

Thanks Chris. I'm pleased that you like how it turned out. That IP is a decal from the kit. I was a little surprised it came out as well as it did. 🙂

Decals don't often come out so well, nicely done!
