Thas vixen is a nice looking set up, I hope you start it soon I am a sucker for Britt jets

You have always done the neatest kits Chief, I have admired your work for the past year and never seen any body come quite close to your style......Gunz

It has been about a week since I have done anything to the P-40B. I finally got off my duff and assembled the wing and fuse halves together, So far every thing has gone well in this endeavor and I hope it will be one of my better builds. I could use one. In the pics you will see that one set...

Was that a Party or were you coming down from anesthesia?

Hey, thats a nice looking kit. I think Trumpy is doing better with the stuff they are putting out. As for the interior there are a lot of am stuff out there and the wheels can be had. I am looking forward to watching this one come about Jan.

I used Tamiya metallic gray, sprayed lightly on the bottom then a coat of red/black mix with a little of the metallic gray on top, I am pleased that it came out so well.

That must have been gorgeoous

4X5 or 5X7? anyway, since I havent been modeling all that long,two years, I am still finding new techniques and twists to doing things.Now if I can only get the paint surface just right I would be more sastified.

some times I replace the film with color etch and it looks better to me that way but that would take some surface removal on the ip face to make it work better.

Well thanks for the flowers and as for the instruments that is a film that is sandwiched between two pieces, Trumpy and HB kits in 32 usually come with these and if you use future to paste it to the back of the IP then paint the backing white you get this result.then I lay C/A along the edge of...

well I finished the pit and engine assembly. I added some paint in the closest colors I had or could mix and put every thing in its place. I know the exhaust stubs are crooked but I think it adds character.

Thank you for the compliments

Thanks Matt, they are the three of seven reasons I am still insane, the other four live in Virginia

Well with all the help I got in the past three days this is how far I got. I have 24 exhaust stubs and about a dozen more hoses and pipes to go. This engine is about as involved as the Tamiya Merlin but not quite as accurate. Good fit too. The most fun part so far was painting the head bolts.

I have a friend near here who loves my builds, I don't know why, maybe hes daft, but he does and he asked me to build him a P-40 so I chose this one I got from the vendors at the last show I went to. So far it seems right nice and I am happy with the results so far. I have my modeling sprites...
