MOJO Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 According to Hobby Search (Japan) they show it late Dec. Can pre-order it now from them and also Kitlinx(USA) has it for pre-order. I guess I missed HobbyLink Japan shows them in stock with a limit of only 20 per customer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aderowlands Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I dunno, aerial stub on the real deal photo, narrower shark mouth profile than what the decal profile sheet offers, bomb instead of drop tank? Or am I missing something glaringly obvious? If the kit turns out decent I’ll be getting one and won’t be doing either of those schemes anyway. I’m hoping it turns out decent because I have had several fallings out with the Hasegawa P-40’s of the various N’s and E’s I’ve mauled and we are no longer on speaking terms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Long tail ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Sure would be nice if they provided both tails! I have my fingers crossed this will be a very good kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixable Different plane, same squadron, 209 and 203. 209 is an F, 209 is an L model with the long tail. I built my grey matter F/L conversion as an L. I personally will buy two of these new F's when they come out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikester Posted November 2, 2018 Members Share Posted November 2, 2018 Already have a decal set in anticipation of this one. I just hope they fix the cockpit issue that the P-40B had, designed for midgets! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you are correct, they gave the decals for an L model with the long tail. When I first looked at that picture, it looked like a 203. I think that everyone will need aftermarket decals anyway, Trumpy is not known for decals. I bought a Zots sheet, so it has both short and long tails on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Just to clarify, from the P-40F-5-CU model, they all had fuselage lengthened by 2 feet 2 inches in order to deal with the torque of the new engine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Plastic pics are up. At least the fuselage is one piece. http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?g=home&m=product&a=show&id=3274 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
