ghodges Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 This is the Eduard (ex Mauve) kit. I had trouble with the wing roots on this one, but the rest of the build went ok. I also modified it to take Moskit exhausts. The markings are from a 3 Guys Replicas sheet. The decal diamonds for the rudder shattered, so I had to paint them. Glad to be through with this one, now on to the P-40E I already have in progress! Comments and critiques welcome, as always! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I would never have guessed you painted those diamonds! That is some seriously pristine work! I bow to the Master! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Sweet build, Gil. A question on the Stars...why no blue border? Has it something to do with the markings? Love the weathering also. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The white bars were a field add on to the round star insignia already on the plane during the time when the insignia was changed to the stars/bars on all planes being built. Thanks for all of the kind words! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
