Many thanks Pete, Wayne Kevin.

Plenty of plumbing on the drawing board, working on the fuselage engine mount at the moment. Want to paint the engine first and then add a few extras. Paint let me down though, opened the Humbrol pot and it's turned to jelly and would not break down no matter how much a shook it or stirred it. Replacing with Vallego which I have to order in.

Sounds like you've got the dreaded 'New Humbrol' disease Vic - exactly what I've been on about in the other thread.

That's the name they go under now Harrison. Don't get things wrong, Humbrol paint still works, but it's very inconsistent, and the quality, both in use and of the finished article, is nowhere near what it was.

Thanks looking at the Humbrol paint thread someone, I think Ian said that Humbrol Super Enamels abd old Humbrol is OK. I have Mat Mid Stone by Humbrol and I like it a lot, but we'll have to see how it really does with my P-40!

Good stuff there Piet, I was hoping to find the Stuka without spats, but no such luck.

Have done a little work in the engine mount bulkhead, just a little plumbing. Still waiting for the engine undercoat paint, so started to clean up the cannons, will post pics of them later, but for now a couple of shots of the bulkhead.

Hot sh!t Vic, looks great.... Need to check my ref material, but the armor plating u have on the side fuselage has a weird notch at the top of it, under the cockpit sill....

Not sure if that notch is correct...
