I am new to the site. My thing is 1/32 aircraft and posted a picture of my P-40B. Let me know what you think.

Hey Terry,

Only been here a few weeks myself - its a lot of fun.

The P-40 looks cool but the US Army chap (Ranger?) is even better!

Is the P-40 the Trumpeter kit?

Hi Redraider,

Welcome to the site! Wonderful community here

Great work! I hope your thing is also P-40s.

I have the Trumpeter P-40 but put it aside for a myraid of other projects. Did you detail how you cut open the engine cowl panels? There is a detailed article about it on-line somewhere, I have it bookmarked somewhere, too.

My 1/32 projects are the Hasegawa Frank, the P-40C, and just bought the new Tamiya A6M2.

Someday I will start my 1/32 Revell Japanese Tony, George and Jack. Stay tuned!

Lee,

The kit is from Trumpter. It is a good kit, however I added alot details that are missing in the cockpit, wheel wells, and engine area. My next projects are a P-26 and a P-51 in 1/32 scale. I am in the process of rounding up detail infomation on them.
