Looking good Stuart!

The yellow lines on the wings look very crispy and sharp ! Very nice!

That's an excellent new camo pattern there. I like it.

nice idea with the change in markings.

How did the plane all go together?

Thanks for the comments all, it's appreciated!

I had to change the markings, I found my cat curled up asleep on my modelling tray and on top of this model :headslap: - she'd broken off the guns and the antenna post - so rather than replace them I chose these markings as this aircraft had them removed - besides you don't normally see P-40s in the Day Fighter Scheme.

Owl - It goes together really nicely - the wing fit needed a bit of filler/sanding but otherwise its been a fun build.

Cheers

Stuart

The decals are on - just a matt coat and some weathering to do!

I really like the P-40 in 'Day Fighter Scheme' - it really suits its.

Cheers!

That is a nifty, neat-o scheme. It does look good on the P-40.
