JohnB Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I just received this very nice resin P-40K tail from Tim Biggers so now I'll be converting a Hasegawa P-40E to a K. 8
Martinnfb Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Nice, I will follow with interest. A great way how to build K with the kit being OOP for a while. Also Eduard makes a nice fishtail exhaust for it. I guess you already know that. Cheers Martin https://squadron.com/edu632139-p-40-exhaust-stacks-fishtail-1-32/ 7

Cheers Martin https://squadron.com/edu632139-p-40-exhaust-stacks-fishtail-1-32/ Expand Yep, I'm hopeful it will go well. 🙂 2
CANicoll Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) Me too. I'm glad to see Tim getting parts out there. Nice to support one of our own! I'll have to check his catalog and see what's new. That resin piece he did looks terrific. Edited January 29 by CANicoll Update added text 4 1
ScottsGT Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Glad to see you got one John! I just ordered another E kit off Amazon from Japan for $40 to go with my tail. Now off to order those exhaust tips! 5

It's really just a copy of the Hase K tail modified to be one piece. I don't usually do that, but with it long OOP, there seemed no other way to get one. Carl is sending me an N tail to do the same thing. 6 2

JohnB Posted January 29 Author Posted January 29 Innards about done. I used the kit decals for the IP. 8 1
Martinnfb Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Thanks @biggtimTim and @BlrwestSiRCarl for doing this, if I can suggest to add the perforated filter covers (I 5,6) to go with the "big tai"l deal as well. 3 1

Martinnfb Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Cockpit looks really good John, the IP decals are surprisingly decent. I will follow in your footsteps on the P-40 path soon . 4

ScottsGT Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Okay, it’s just the N that gets the forward vents. I was thinking the K had them as well. But with the N boxing, it’s parts F1 that Carl needs to include with his N tail. @BirwestSiR Any yes, I would give my left one up for a set of these Parrot Head decals too! 3 3
