Hasegawa P-40E Robert L. Scott

[JohnB]

Yes sports fans and athletic supporters. Another Hasegawa P-40 build is under way. The Hasegawa kits are nicely detailed and enjoyable to build. I just wish they would reissue the "K", "M", and "N" as those are hard to find and when you do find any the prices are pretty high. (Yes, I know, I have a "N" up for sale here but at least I'm not asking a arm and a leg for it. Just a arm maybe! LOL) At any rate, I intend for this build to be Robert L. Scott's "E". Not all that colorful but that's okay. It should make a good looking OOB model. Stay tuned.......

Love your P-40 builds.

Yes, I built their P-40B a while back. Not a bad kit. I did it as Taylor's a/c he flew at Pearl Harbor, a/c #155.

Thank you Chris. OOB except for the FineMolds belts. Whenever you try one you'll like it. Great details and fit. Easy build also. 🙂

If my memory serves me right then, yes, that's Taylor's bird.

Thanks Martin. I wish Hasegawa would re-release their "M", "K", and "N" kits. Those are getting harder to find and when you do find one it's not cheap unfortunately. I have their "N" 15,000 anniversary kit which I have up for sale. I'll either sell it or build it. 🙂

Hopefully Hobby2000 is going to re-box them soon.

That would be good. How did you come by that info?

[JohnB]

Making some progress.

[JohnB]

Good progress. Next I'll paint the undersides.

[JohnB]

Painting well under way.

[Martinnfb]

Getting there John, nice and clean. 👍

Yes indeed Martin, thanks. I'll spray some clear gloss today and start decaling. Just might have it finished some time tomorrow. 🙂

[Martinnfb]

I will soon follow in your footsteps, building Scot's E as well. Did some research, talked to some people, hopefully it will end up somewhat presentable. Thank you for the motivation .
