luigi thank you. i have hit a touch of a snag though. in my enthusiasm i neglected to prep for the hole that is left when the wing is attached to the fuse. trying to get a fix now. that part will not be easy to fit in.

well here i am. getting some progress done, hawkenstein is looking like a p-40 now. well on the outside. been working quite a bit on the assorted flaps. lots of cutting, fitting, recut, refit, throw away start again, repeat...... here is where i am at with her. rudder  wing flaps  and some inner detail     and the overall  sorry about all the tape and putty. this is really turning into a putty queen. of the times i have built this kit i can say the fit this time around has been horrid. dry fitting went well through the construction stages but the final construction of the fuse has been a nightmere. comments, critiques, criticism are encouraged. joe |

Nice additions. All the interior details will add up a lot to the realism.

well folks i had planned to do a step by step to show you my progression in the painting area. that blew up in my face. shot flat black on the hawk and let that dry. moved to the gray undersides. still no real issue. then on to the od. good god i dont know what happened. planned to give it a well worn look but it went sideways in a hurry. the ab started off by spitting and splattering the paint. got that somewhat undercontrol and screwed up on the mixture, made it much much too light. used strait od on the panel lines to try to salvage what i had done. no go back to the splattering and spiting. i went to do a bit of a post shading to try to tone down the paint a bit and wow what a mess. in the end the paint job is done with a mediocre at best finish. you cant see it but the panels are highlighted and in person it does look a little better than the pics.    this pic was intended to show the fading of the panels but not sure it showed up.  just to show you these pics are from after the initial od layer.    and the same wing.  comments, criticisms, and critiques are encouraged. joe |

Did you spray the interior colour on the cockpit framing before the exterior colour? I really like the way it looks now |
