Jeff Herne Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 This is Hasegawa's 1/32 P-40E. It's basically OOB with the exception of seatbelts. I wanted something other than OD over Neutral Gray, so I used a set of Montex Masks originally done for the Revell kit. This P-40 flew with 2OTU at Mildura until 1945. It's Alclad, Gunze, and Vallejo. Weathering was done with (of course) Warpigs washes and pigments. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamsof51 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 There may have been better American WWII fighters, but the P-40 will always have a special place for me. That coming from an ex Flying Tiger circa 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing (1981-84). Great job on a great plane. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 That has to be one of the most colorful P-40's I've ever seen. You nailed the NMF! Did you make a sludge wash with the Warpigs powders, or is there a dedicated wash? You're accenting looks excellent! Congrats on a very crisp build and thanks for sharing!

GregWise Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hard to beat a P-40 for being one of the most coolest birds of WWII, Nice choice using a RAAF scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Herne Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks guys. When I was building the model, I wanted something other than OD... Turns out I used every primary color...red, yellow, blue, green, black, and white! The washes are Warpigs washes, it's an item I produce. Its on the website.

thehannaman Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Jeff, looks great. I love P-40's of all kinds. However, the NMF ones are a cut above. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
