Looking quite nice Don. Easy gap fix on the wing for you.

Thanks all, I'm fairly please with the outcome so far.

What is it with these 40's?
Them wings fits came back to me when I built a Russian version.
Holey moley, no wonder new tooling is made for some of these old birds.

Did well on this one mate!!!!!

I'm getting up to speed on your table, Don, the issue of the wings is well resolved.

Saludos

It's a wonder P-40's ever got off the ground with them wing fits.
I had to add styrene to fill the gaps on mine.

nice work mate

 

[Donivanp]

Thanks all, Whos is taking the odds on how long my bench can look "cleaned up"?

 

[fubar57]

Is.....is....is that some sort of flat surface?

Probably a lack of kits !!!

 

[Donivanp]

Nope don't think that's it!

Besides, who said there was no clutter? I'm organized, sortta'

Anywho, Got the wheels on, note the amount of weight it takes to hold her down ;-0!

 

[Donivanp]

I've gotta stop cleaning. I'm finding things! I cleaned off my second bench and found a 1/32 scale F-105, F-4 and F-14 I have not seen in a couple of years! That didn't include a 72 scale KC-135R and RC-135V.

Oh and the 48th BONE!

Might be a few crates of Spitfires or Nazi gold if you dig deeper

"Clean" is a relative term

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks ok to me....

 

[Donivanp]

"Clean" is a relative term

Yeah, I have several relative who ain't so clean!

 

[Donivanp]

Had a bit of an issue putting on the inner forward wheel well doors. I lost a set, I saw the direction they went but they are small and the same color as the carpet. Lucky for me I have three of these kits. Hope I can find the others.

I shot the neutral grey bottom and found some seam work to clean up. not too bad after coming off a couple large bombers! Used Tamiya white putty for the repairs.
