Well, I have it and it's gonna be next up on the bench!

or you can stop by your local auto-parts store and pick out a couple of spray cans of silver by dupli-color

nice little kitty.

Very true Clare, and while we are both happy with our work our happiness came at the expense of extra time, money and effort improving those old mediocre kits. Sometimes the end results of these projects can be not so happy, or they never make it to the display shelf. That being said, I have reviewed a couple of the new Airfix kits and IMHO they are on par or better than any other new releases and more importantly, they were enjoyable builds. I believe having the starting advantage of a superior kit is much more desirable and will most likely yield better end results thereby making me much happier. I guess to sum it all up I would say the Monogram P-40 was great when I was 10, the Hobbycraft P-40 was fun at 30, but now at 56 I'm ready for something better and more enjoyable than an old box of chores. That's what makes the new Airfix kits so attractive to me.

I did this one a few year back, I used the Hobbycraft kit, corrected the cowling errors and other upgrades. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s83.photobucket.com/user/TF51GREGWISE/embed/slideshow/P-40C"></iframe>

that's why I quit visiting Dyperscale and ARCrap years ago.

still waiting on this one. http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/coming-soon/curtiss-p-40b-1-48.html

Very nice workmanship, congrats on a well done job, does anyone know how the Meng kit compares to the Takom kit?

Wowsers, that came out awesome.

nice job on that old standby!

WOW she is Hot!! How did she do at the NATS?

coming along nicely, thanks for sharing.

That's super. I think you're the only guy I know who builds these impossible vac kits and you're killing it.

that's quite the undertaking, how are you planning on displaying it?

I had one of these as a 13 yr old kid in the 70;s My Dad paid the Honda dealer 400 bucks for a brand new one out the door. I never managed to pay it all back before my brother inherited it and the remainder of the debt but my next bike at age 14 was a Yamaha MX250 and a bigger debt.

Brixit?
