It's put together and basically done. My bare bones P-40B...

I just need to get some Decal Solution and some more paint.

I've been converted to modeller. I will definitely do this again soon.


Only complaint I have so far is the weak tail wheel. It's not strong enough to support the model...so I stuck it a bit further up into the tail than it should just so it will sit straight.


EDIT: It was either this or the F4F Wildcat. I spent like 15 minutes trying to decide before I went with the P-40. I've always liked the P-40 and the USAAF planes. The F4F can wait.
