P-40K #2 RFI

This is my second "K" conversion using Tim Bigger's resin tail to convert a "E" to a "K". Fits real well and is nicely detailed. Recommended!

Painted with Testor's enamel Olive Green for the base camo color. I did some fading and weathering using some Testor's OG that I "adjusted" for fading, etc. Decals are SuperScale. The only after market item(s) are the resin Eduard wheels and the FineMolds belts. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and I hope you guys are too. 🙂

Wow!  John, I honestly think that’s one of your best yet!  But then again, I’m kind of partial since I’m at the decal stage of my K build now.  Your weathering is very tastefully done and not “over done”.   I just hope mine comes out half as nice as yours looks. 
 

Question, The circular antenna on top.  Did those things spin or were they fixed?

I'm glad you like it Scott, thanks. That circular antenna was a radio direction finder and was "trained" around by the pilot. It didn't spin. 🙂

I'm looking forward to seeing your "K" when it's done! 🙂
