    Canopy has Arrived! Painted that bad boy then added antenna wire using nylon thread.

    The mast is from a Tamiya P-51 kit as the kit's mast is a little week. The panel lines were washed using a Pitt Pen, color Dark Sepia, I believe it looks better than black. The stars and bars decals are from Fundekals the nose art is from the kit and some additional decals are from the spares box. Quick and fun build and my entry into the Teeth and Fangs GB. Sadly I couldn't find much information about this A/C, I literally found only one B/W photo of Rosie.

    Boy, aren’t you a fast builder Tom?!
    It’s a wonderful model for sure. Can I ask you for some more pics? That mouth deserves a zoom 😉

    Pedro here you go, first the left side

    Then of course the right side And why not the cockpit while we're at it. Note the modification I did to the kit gun sight, added some clear plastic to represent glass.

    Great work Tom!
    I’ve seen quite a few P-40s you made or post recently, but this one is the best of the lot (of course I may be biased, but it’s what I feel)
