After a long absence from modelling and finally finishing one of my ongoing builds, I have decided that I want to put a bunch of my energy into this model, the other gift from my good friend Louis Gardner. And as per his suggestion and my newfound interest in the pilot, I will be building it as a representation of the famous Ace of the Pacific Gregory "Pappy" Boyington. This looks like a nice kit, and it's a company I am not familiar with, so I hope everything goes alright with it.

This is some excellent news Jordyn ! I am very happy to hear that you are building this P-40 now. It's a nice kit, and they build up into a good little airplane. Just remember to have fun with it. It looks like you have been busy with the building part.

Jordyn, this looks like a great start. I like Hobby Craft kits. They are good kits and can build into great models. They may not be super-detailed, but I have reached a stage in my modeling/life where a good, basic kit done right is perfect. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
