first let me say thank you for following along. all the encouragement has pushed me as much as just the sheer challenge.
so without further ado.
my first attempt at a cutaway.
trumpeter 1/32 p-40b, roughly 20 or 25 kit pieces. guessing somewhere north of 800 pieces total. started in november.
again thank you for following along and for all the support.

I do believe you should be feeling a huge sense of accomplishment, Joe. Well done! It's OK to pour a snifter of the finest scotch and enjoy the moment .

Joe,
I'm the same way. After a killer build, I like to scale it back for a while. Any change you can give us a hint as to what your next build will be, and what your plans are?

joel for the next couple of builds like i said i am looking at oob. first up will be something i havent done in years. the 1/25 hot rod magazine funny car. after that i am looking at the academy 1/72 b-17c/d. i am however researching a couple of future builds. first will be later this year, 1/24 me 109g-10. then sometime next year will be a full cutaway of a p-51d in either 1/24 or 1/32.

Joe,
I use to build race cars before I got back int aircraft and armor (not that I build any armor these days). Really would like to follow that build.
Given your expertise in cut-a-ways, the bigger the scale, the better opportunities. For what it's worth go 1/24 scale.

joel i do believe that i am leaning towards the 1/24. it is the airfix -d, i have heard that it is a beaut of a kit with the exception of the ip. i have heard that the ip is for a -b. i need to research a bit. the 109 will be a challenge in that i dont do german birds often. in fact i have done all of eight in the last 35 years. only one actually turned out decent.
i am afraid however the car build will be offsite. it will be a quick run through that wont even make a decent wip on any forum.
