She is STILL here and NEEDS to be restored, to flying trim...................... and she has most or nearly most of her original bits................... that in itself is remarkably cool!!!!!!!!!!! I love stuff like this, especially the present day pics.... thanks Anthony, awesome stuff..... your build is very clean and neat John, makes me want to do a P40.....this is getting really interesting..... 6
Martinnfb Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Looking really good John, almost at the finish line. Cheers M. 3

JohnB Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Finished with the decals. Now for some paint touch-up and a bit of weathering. 5
Anthony in NZ Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Oh my John, that's looking stunning mate...absolutely beautiful!!! 5
JohnB Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks Anthony. I'm pleased with it too. I almost hate to do any weathering! LOL 5

JohnB Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Thank you Harv! I didn't realize when I first started on this one that it would be so striking. Sho be's purty! LOL 6

Jeff Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Like the other guys , John, I'm lovin this, never a flaw..... certainly that I can see..... another excellent build... 4
Martinnfb Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Fantastic work John, I noticed one detail you may find helpful. The drop tank is wider than usually. Not sure if it was standard issue or some kind of field modification. 4

At any rate, I don't intend to attach anything to the shackles. 5
BlrwestSiR Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 So very nice John. I'd have a hard time doing any weathering to it too. 3
