Thanks guys! Hopefully the rest of the build will be as smooth as the start 🙂. I really like building this kit.

I am building almost the same kit, don't forget to blend in the tail and rear windows inserts Björn

Thanks Erik for pointing that out. I also noticed that I need to blend in the gun mounts in the wings. Unfortunately, sanding and filling isn't my strength, so I will hope that I can hide some of my short comings with the paint😉.

Just psr until everything is tip top. You cant hide everything with paint

Added a few progress images. Base camo is finished. I'm sad to say I just didn't do a good enough job with the blending of the problem areas in the fuselage. Hopefully someone can learn by looking at my mistakes 🙂

Paintjob is terrific Bjorn!I guess you made some corrections with paint at the front of the shark mouth?

Yes, that was actually a mistake.. I painted the front white before decaling and realized my mistake first when it was time to apply the shark mouth. As you can see when comparing it to the box art it is a little off. I'm thinking about doing some painting to bring the mouth all the way to the edge. I'm really stacking up the mistakes on this build 🙂.

Looks superb to me. You see all the defects, I just see an awesome shark mouth P-40 taking shape

Thanks Scott for the support! I did a quick fix and added an extra tooth in the upper and lower jaws. To me it looks better now 🙂.

The P-40E from Hasegawa is finished. I really like this kit. It has nice details and a good fit. I used the Eduard photo etch kit for some of the detail, but I didn't use all of it as the kit already had nice detail level for some of the parts in the PE kit.

Thanks Erik and Sören!
@Erik I look forward to seeing more updates on your "Wham Bam" P-40 🙂.

Thanks Timothy, Mike, Clifford and David!
@David, the pace is slowing down. The two builds I've started now will be a more work than this. Lots of PE to bend..😉
