Thanks guys.

Today's update;

Painted the camo and hit the areas to be decaled with gloss cote, no need to do the entire plane as the decals are limited.




Next the decals are applied and allowed to dry.

Is the second camo colour also Vallejo Chris. Looks good mate and have to agree with you the Vallego paints are good in brush or spray, they give a nice smooth finish.

Thanks guys.

Today's update;

Added a cote of vajejo matt finish, painted the the prop and the landing gear (on the parts trees).






All that is left is to paint the canopy, attach the gear and the belly tank and some weathering.

Thanks guys.

Today's update;

Masked and painted the canopy, then attached it, you can see the elmer's glue in the seams, it will dry invisable.




the landing gear is attached, and the kit's drop tank is replaced by one from an Amtech p-40, as the kit's tank was as bad as the exhausts.


All that's left now is some detail painting and weathering. The kit is more like an impressionist version of a P-40 rather then an accurate one!

Very nice Nxthanos. I tried a sharpie on the underside of a Spitfire stabilizer and it took about five coats of brush painted Aeromaster azure to tone it down. Your effort is far better.
