**** DONE: 1/48 Hawk 75N Royal Thai AF 1940 - Aircraft in Foreign Service GB

Yes, great idea Vic! I'll remember that one.
Luckily when Hobbycraft came out with the P-40C/B kits some of the sprues were from the P-36/Hawk 75 kits so I had the extra exhaust stubs, along with a prop and some other goodies. Just glad I tossed it all in the spares box. I'll have to point this out to my wife the next time she complains about me not throwing anything away.
On second thought maybe not.

I'd avoid that one Glenn. Glad you found a new one!

Thanks guys.
Finished the spare exhaust stub and installed them both (without loss this time!) along with the main wheels.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That looks good Glenn and I like the mud on the wheels.

42F or 10C tonight on the back porch where my work bench is so about an hour was all I could take before my fingers stopped working.
Finished off some of the small bits.
Picture 1 is from the internet showing the cranked pitot tube on the Hawk75s
Picture 2 shows what came in the kit (top) and after I drilled it out and re-shaped it (bottom picture 3)
Picture 4 shows it painted, along with the cannon barrels which I drilled out. I still need to paint the small green band.
Picture 5 is the finished prop.

 

[Wayne Little]
