Hi Steph,
That's remarkable work on an old and tricky kit.
Well done!

I have the old ESI kit but it's missing a canopy

Be aware that the Monogram P-40B kit provides TWO canopies, one opened and one closed. Some people ought to have some spares around; I think I do.

Great work there Steph. I've built that kit many times but never put the effort into it that you are doing

Hello,

Some work: engine glued, area behind the pilot's head done, most of structure lines engraved. Next step will be the work on the gunsight and its support before to glue the windscreen.

Hello,

Some work: gunsight and its support is done. I tried to represent the Baille-Lemaire GH-38 gunsight which equiped the H75 A-1 and A-2s.

Work on the main landing gear in progress...

 

[fubar57]

That's awesome, Steph

 

[A4K]

What Geo said, but make that freakin' awesome!

 

[Greg Boeser]

I am trying to absorb everything to apply to my 1/72 H-75A-6.

 

[Crimea_River]

Going all out on those details. Very nice Steph.

[destrozas]

[Gnomey]

Hello,

I worked on the windscreen. I didn't use the Squadron windscreen because I would have had to cut away the section in front of it on the kit; the Squadron part comes molded together with that forward section (the cowling). However, this did allow me to sand down the outer frames of the kit part. I added the internal rods.

All that's left is to glue the windscreen in place and add a few details, and I'll be ready for painting. The area beneath the quarter window is left in NMF.
