I just saw a video about the shark mouth versions on Guadelcanal. They were P-400's of the 67th fighter squadron and they had a different exhaust and armament. Nice work so far and great pics. Gary S.

Painted the dark gray yesterday and pulled the tapes off to show the stripes. Next I have to figure out the yellow dashes on the center stripe. In the photo the island and flight deck are just placed on not glued yet. Gary S.

Wow!! Top notch!! Gary S.

Hope you can work the bugs out. I've always like the looks of this aircraft. My uncle flew them at Guadalcanal. Gary S.

The masking of the flight deck stripes is done. Not going for perfection I didn't do every one, just the major ones to make it look interesting. Next is to paint the dark gray on it. Gary S.

Thanks! That's because it's still taped off. Yesterday the lower hull was painted a mixture of colors to make "hull red". At least what I think hull red looks like. Also yellow was painted on the flight deck elevator areas which will be taped off to make the warning stripes. Gary S.

Talk about realism. You nailed it. Gary S.

Decided to try my luck at making a hanger deck by using cardboard from a cereal box. It sorta works. I used the kit door closers to use as floor supports then caulked it in. Not sure if I like it or not having all of the elevators in the down position. The flight deck was painted white and the...

Very impressive. Museum quality. Gary S.

There you go, over thinking it again. Gary S.

"I don't think so Tim".😄 The fit is too bad. Meanwhile, more work done on the SS Bondo Queen. This is going to require multiple layers and a lot of sanding. I'm also contemplating adding a hanger deck if I can scrounge up enough plastic. Gary S.

After finishing the M-46 model, I wasn't sure what to build next. I was finishing reading a book ad out the 2nd Armored Division in WWII and starting a book by Gen. E. Harmon. So while I was waiting to be inspired, I decided to dust my models and room which was long over due. After rearranging...

Very interesting !! Looks great. Gary S.

It's like looking at the real thing. Gary S.

Top Notch !! Gary S.

I hope mine comes out that good. Gary S.

Not my greatest of acquisitions. A couple of days ago we went to an other antique place and this kit was there for $19.9, so I bought it. The only interior parts are the "instrument panel" and a seated pilot figure. I'm going to use leftover P-51 parts from the A-36 A/M kit. It will be built...
