**** DONE: GB-41 1/48 Curtiss P-40E - PTO from 1937

[Wurger]

WOW!

 

[Donivanp]

WOW? Is that a good wow, a bad wow, or a bow wow?

 

[Wurger]

It's a good wow.

 

[Donivanp]

So you like what I've done to the place. I can be a decorator!

 

[Wurger]

I would say I like you found the airbrush.

BTW.. Are you going to use the both P-40 fuselages? Are there two models in one kit?

 

[fubar57]

Which paint are you using Don

 

[Donivanp]

I don't know why, but the AMTech P-40E comes with two fuselages, I can't see any differences between them at all. I haven't been able to find an answer to this mind boggling question but I have two of the kits and both have the duel fuselage issue. The P-40F/L I have of theirs does not.

As to your question Geo, I am using the Testors acrylic green chromate. I don't like it as it is too light but it is what I have and can't get anything else for now.

 

[Wurger]

OK. THX.

 

[Donivanp]

Started a little on the PE work and glueing the engine cowling/exhaust covers on. From what Geo said and the reviews I found on the web, this is not disappointing as I expected it.

 

[Crimea_River]

I'd be cringing at the fit of those cowl panels. Maybe it would have been better to get the fuselage halve together first.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

 

[fubar57]

Not to shabby but I'll have to find some P.E. and do a proper test drive.

 

[Donivanp]

Filled in the gap in the engine cowl and got the cockpit near done.

 

[fubar57]

Did well on the gaps Don

 

[Wurger]

 

[Donivanp]

I needed some paint, went to the local Hobby Lobby and used the weekly 40% discount for one item.

 

[fubar57]

Nice

 

[Wurger]

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, looking good Don. I'd tend to agree with Andy regarding those cowl panels - probably better to fit them after joining the fuselage, if it's possible.
