Intriguing work Spiros @fiveten. My old eyes and hands couldn’t handle a kit that small these days but you’re making a splendid job of it. Looking forward to seeing more!

Great hand painting, Spiros @fiveten, the chocolate makes it almost good enough to eat.

Touch-ups, touch-ups!

Thanks my friend @johnb! Indeed, fixing here and there takes time...
Anyway, touch ups are done, ready for decals...

Interesting camo, Spiros (@fiveten). I don't think I have ever seen it before. Looking forward to the home stretch.

The area behind the pilot's head had a similar configuration as in the P-40. Whereas nothing was supplied with the kit, my hopes laid to the transparency thickness and distortion. As it turned out, the emptiness was more the evident after test fitting the canopy. I thus decided to formulate a "rear vision" area with a suitably cut styrene plate, where two suitably sized external tank pieces eere glued. Here is the piece before trimming...

P.S. Oh yes! Could not resist NOT to sand the Heller molded imprint away and left it on 🙂

Great decalling and nice sratch build rear part, Spiros @fiveten
Those side markings are Polish over French roundels, correct?
Wise decision to leave the molded Heller marking, it really remembers the old times.

...here is the cockpit done, after thinning the seat, adding seat belts, scratch building an instrument panel, a control stick and a head cushion. Some black "boxes" were added at the sidewalls by just black paint. They will look passable under the thick canopy...
