thanks michael for letting me post my photos late. as i said earlier the model was done in time but my computer hard drive crashed, sorry about making things difficult for you. again thanks for the understanding. i had been using my work computer just to follow along up to now but i couldn't use it to link photos (don't think my boss would have appreciated it)
i just got it fixed and am posting a couple here the rest in the gallery.
monogram p-40b
eaglecal decals-pappy boyingtons p-40
legend cockpit with molded shoulder harness removed and hand painted gauges.
true details wheels.
boxed in the wheel wells and added ribbing
vallejo dark earth and green top,sky grey underside. all lightened for weathered look.lightly sprayed some tamiya buff underside to represent dirt and dust.silver paint chipping
brass tube substituted for molded in nose guns

a couple more. i can't figure out how to add photos to an edit. i don't get the img icon on the bottom if i click on edit so i just clicked a new reply.




thanks for everything michael. it was a fun campaign.and a fun build, despite my almost shelving it half way through.

Got the ribbon, thanks Michael!

Unfortunately I couldn't finish on time, but I will finish the build and post pictures.
Managed to get the primer on. Been booked off for a month with a viral infection and hypertension, go figure.
Will post photos as soon as the new Router gets here. Had a close call with lightning, router, phone and digital TV box lost. So been a great last few days- NOT!

Joe,
nicely done P-40! I like it very much! This really is the classical scheme for a P-40!
