    A very effective day spent on your P40, Spiros @fiveten
    Great additions to add some realistic looks.
    Very riskful to drill inside transparant parts.

    I was holding my breath upon drilling, to be honest...

    Doors added, also some inter-connecting rods and links were fabricated out of stretched sprue and attached...

    C/L tank and wing guns attached...

    The rear wheel housing is totally flat and shallow. I am in the process of unevenly and roughly painting it to look like s canvas boot... Started decaling, as well... Thanks for stopping by!

    Nice idea to represent the canvas, Spiros @fiveten
    Decals seems to set nicely.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! The decals glue had aged yellow. I removed as much as I could with a wet cotton bud. Anyways...

    Decaling finished!

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Wow Spiros @fiveten - you sure covered some serious ground since I last stopped by. So that’s what those holes behind the pilot’s seat are for. I always thought they were some kind of formation lights.

    How did you make those red numbered circles? Use a different program? Or is there an iModeler tutorial trick?

    Very nice freehand green camo. Very smooth. Almost done!

    Looking great with the decals on, Spiros @fiveten
    Those sharkmouths do fit the P40 perfectly.
