rieser Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well perhaps something like Dottie II might have looked like at some time... Not sure about how the canopy should sit. Any advice much appreciated. Had intended to add the fin-to-wingtip antennae, but the elastic rigging thread I tried had different ideas so they didn't eventuate. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph.

JohnB Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That's a good looking P-40. Very nicely done with great weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BevanBrooks Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Stunning as usual Ralph, we can only hope there is more "shelf of doom" action to come if this is what we're in for! Going to have to have a go at that thin tape effect, maybe on the D9 that's on the bench. Bevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkranias Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 you're on a roll! RAF 109 now this. What I like about these 2 builds is the weather restrain on the 109 and the very nice weathering on this P40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 WOW! I am afraid i've got to put in a lot of hours on my airbrush before i will even come close to this. The weathering looks great. This is exactly what is so great about this forum, that is that we all learn from each other, il be putting some of your techniques in to practice on my own builds, and hopefully, someday in the near, (or not so near) future i will be able to stand in the shadow of this build. great result!

Spitfire Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Great build and great paintwork and weathering, the latter is something that I tend to avoid as I am very bad at it, the early war period aircraft fascinate me and looking at your build if I did not have two kits in the works I would be tempted to build a P-40 myself.
