I finished this lovely little kit up over the weekend. It's a great build if you get a chance to do one (this is my second). Brush painted with a mix of Humbrol and Citadel acrylics.

Cheers!

Love the wheel hubs Arny. Were they hand painted too?

Thanks Doug - no decals actually. The Decal sheet for this kit was pretty good and they behaved really well.

Not my area of interest but that looks lovely.

Nice one! :thumb2:

That's a very nice result. Well done. I can vouch for that kit as I'm building the Tomahawk which I believe is actually the same kit.

Thanks Jim! It is indeed, Airfix have done a few boxings of their early P-40 kit with various markings. I have the USAAF and RAF boxings as well. It's a cracking little build so I hope you enjoy yours.

Very nice that Arnold. The base and back ground add greatly to the finish.
