When my dad started the Aleutian P-38 last year, I thought wouldn´t it be nice if it had some company?

Airfix 1:48 P-40B
This completion dates from November 2020. I really enjoyed the build. The kit has very few vices beyond some fit funkiness in the lower nose section. It's completely OOB except for Eduard PE lap belts. I mixed Testors Zinc Chromate and [...]
