I've decided to build another P-40K using Tim's resin tail piece and a Hasegawa P-40E. I'm considering these two but haven't decided for sure which one just yet. 🙂

Just a question; what's the difference between the resin and the kit tail?

Are there fit problems with the kit's tail? I'm not familiar with Hasegawa's P40 kits.

Nice work so far BTW.

The kit is a "E" which has the straight leading edge on the fin. The resin tail is to convert it to a "K" which had a fillet added to the leading edge.

What John said and the Hasegawa K is as rare as hens teeth.  
 

John, these things are like Lay’s Chips. Just can’t have one!

I'm expecting the new tail piece to show up the first of next week. Then I can resume work on this kit.

I'm always game for another Warhawk from JohnB.

BTW, I need a resin K tail for a project I'm planning to do one day. I thought I would do it myself with scrap plastic and putty...but who am I kidding?  This resin tail will just save time and hassle.

The resin tail from Tim Biggers is the way to go for sure.

I ran out of Testor's OD so I'll have to put this one aside until my order shows up from Scale Hobbyest. Probably mid-week next week. I think I'll do some preliminary work on the Gey Matter Corsair set in the meantime.

Looks great John!  I just got back into town after visiting our daughter in VA for a few days.  I’ve got quite a bit of touch ups to do on my camo edges.  But tomorrow…..

I had the P-400 pics here by mistake but now I've moved them to their correct spot.
