1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..The Firewall
The final phase of construction is to work on the firewall and the engine area. The engine will be an entirely separate thing and will be covered while I install it permanently.
The firewall included a couple of tanks as well as a base for some plumbing and the throttle linkages.
And with it inplace in the fuselage.
Now I have also added just a few stringers for detail on the interior of the fuselage. Next for me will be to begin to paint.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Prep and PAINT
Ok folks I have reached a point where it would be advisable to start the paint work.
All the prep work is done, I think. Bulkheads are installed, with the exception of the forward most as they need to be removable yet. The little bits and pieces are prepped for paint. The tail wheel assembly is in place.
Paint was sprayed starting with a flat black base. I wanted to try something a bit different and changed midstream to putting a coat of Model Master Aluminium Plate on then I sprayed the interior colors. I did however forget to take pictures of that. I wanted to see if the Aluminium changed the Interior Green and the Yellow Zinc Chromate. It did but not so much as you would really see it.
I also began to paint and detail paint the interior pieces.
That is where it stands at the moment. Now the challenge will be to work on the firewall more and on to the engine work. I am choosing to not install the bits and pieces as of yet as they could break free during the process and I do not want to lose them.

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Engine Compartment
Update time:
Engine compartment and Engine work.
The engine is the kit parts, added are hoses and such.
The firewall.
With some additions.
And just how much will you actually see when done???
Well not much really. Again this is not 100% accurate. Some issues occurred during the process and some things did not get installed. Maybe the next time.
This took a while so my goal was not reached. I had hoped to get this weathered but that did not happen. Also I have not finished the exhausts yet. That will have to wait till the next update.
