Well folks I just had to jump again. This subject is another attempt at my first cut away. The 1/32 Trumpeter P-40B. I will be trying to improve.  More to come. Joe |

Neat! Was pawing through this kit the other day thinking about a Russian lend-lease bird. What sort of markings are you going for?

Many thanks for tunning in all.
Dupes not sure yet. I do have a SuperScale set for this aircraft. Just have not settled on that. Too far out in the future yet.

To keep in line with how I want to present this I bring to you a small update. Prior to cutting any holes in the wing or fuselage I made some rough bulkheads. One of the latest sessions saw the use of Dremmel and knives to cut away sections of the fuselage. First uncut.   Then after a bit of time, the cuts.  Some little stuff was accomplished prior to the cutting as well. I have some frames roughed for the wing.   Now after the cutting and grinding was done I test fit the roughed bulkheads and found that several were much too small. So much for measure twice and cut once. My next step is to redo the bulkheads. I also need to work a bit on the pit floor to extend it to the back of the wing root. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Many many thanks.
Andy to be honest this is just a very brief showing. There is a bit more to it.
Rick there will be no secretes at all.

Well it has been going on a month since I last updated this thread. As for quantity there is not a lot. However there is some progress. There are frames in the wing.  Now they are not fixed permanently, they are spot glued in to make sure they fit right. There is also some progress on my renditions of the wing guns.   Like I said it does not look like much but it is progress. I am much happier with the wing guns now. Next up will be a box for the guncarriage and the guns. Need to find a bit more on the interior of the wing as there does appear to be a whole lot of empty there. Till the next time, All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Looking good Joe. You're technique is pretty transparent. Might have a bit of a lift problem there on that starboard side ...

I always like watching your "skeleton view" builds Joe. This looks to be another entertaining build. |

Just a quick update. Work continued on the wing. Frames are now installed and the gun bay as well as the ammo box. Tonight the stringers were installed.    Next up will be the interior of the flaps. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Many thanks all.
Bit of a setback I am afraid. It was brought up on another forum that my rendition of the gun bay and ammo chute are for a later variant. For me to fix this I would need to remove enough of the framework that I would end up redoing the entire framework.
Not sure where I am going to go with this.
Joe
