My plan with this build is to just go the way it takes me. First up is I do actually plan to use some after market.  Some initial images.   And then I let the voices guide me.      Even a little off the wing.   Overall there are some things I am not happy with and some I am. Happy with the work in the cockpit so far. The detail seems to resemble the pictures I have. I am however still not sold on the frames. The kit is the Grey. All comments, critique, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

I'm always amazed what some people can achieve with some white rods and stripes.

Just a quick update to this point. Work on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E continues with the mocking up of the engine, firewall, and instrument panel. This is just roughed but the radio equipment will be placed this way in the end. Much still has to be done. Wiring, plumbing, and assorted smaller parts need to be fashioned yet. For this update however the engine received a bit of detail work.  A bit on the firewall and the rear of the instrument panel. Much more needs to happen here.  And finally the mock up.   Moving slowly towards the moment I can spray some color. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Well folks time for another update. This time with a little color. Now before I get into that let me set the background a bit. Trying to avoid the overspray into the sections that have been cut open I plan to get the exterior of at least the cut side painted. I also need to do this prior to installing some of the bits and pieces. So with that in mind here we go. The over all interior had been painted with Stynlrez Metal primer. Once dry Model Master Acrylic Zinc Chromate has been sprayed into the area to the rear of the cockpit. Model Master Interior Green is sprayed into the cockpit area and the engine area is left with the Metal primer. In the photos you will notice I did begin placing some of the easier detail parts.    Next up is the exterior. First was a coat of Stynlrez Black Primer. Over this using the Badger Extreme 105 I spray the same Zinc Chromate. Now at this point let me tell you that I truly hate Model Master Acrylics. I have had zero luck getting them to spray decent. This time was no different.   I am hoping that by doing this layer and then spraying light coats of the top colors I can give the aircraft a faded look with just a hint of the primer coat underneath. Now as a bonus for this post I can also show the painted engine.   So with this being to this point now I can concentrate on the exterior and get that out of the way. I believe I will get it all painted as then I will not have to try to get the same mixtures. As always all comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

That engine looks really good so far Joe. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you bring to the table in regards to weathering it.

Well folks it has been an interesting week but moving forward. Here is an update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. This week is all about the radio and the interior. To prep for that I needed to get some initial paint on the cut side and then while I had the airbrush out I sprayed some on the uncut side.   After that dried for a couple of days on to the radio.      Next up is to continue the interior with more work in the cockpit. As for the radio equipment I am pleased with how it looks. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |
