P-40K RFI

[JohnB]

Converting this Hasegawa P-40E to a K was easy using the resin tail from Tim Biggers. The only other after market items were the FineMolds belts and Eduard exhausts. I painted it with a combination of Xtracolor, Testor's, and Tamiya paints. Decals are Barracudacals except for the national insignia which is from the kit. The decal instructions show the spinner to be blue and dark earth which, referring to a photo, is incorrect. It actually was white and blue as shown in this photo. 🙂 (There is the possibility it was repainted at some point.) I hope you like it. 🙂

I like the "Nick Nichols Nip Nippers" John That's a good looking  aircraft with some Nice colors added by the pilot/crew.

I'm glad you like it Kevin. 🙂 Thank you!

Love it John!!  Can’t wait to get mine going.  I’ve got a Quinta interior arriving Monday, but forgot to order another set of canopy masks. So that low cost order will be another $70-$90 to make shipping worth it.  🤣🤣
