AMTech 1/48 P-40K-5

Never heard of AMTech.
Never heard of AMTech.
They reboxed older kits but added some cool decals or resin bits to them. The P-40K comes with a resin tail instead of the old styrene tail the AMT came with. There is a guy on Ebay that sells them for dirt cheap. I picked up three P-40e's from him for like 20 bucks.
Looks like a fun project Paul. Remember dry fit everything. Those AMT kits seem to have some issues with flash and some fit stuff.

Paul, do, most thoroughly mind your "FIT" I pray U didn't pay much for this kit. It's the old Esci P-40E with additional parts. 3 members of our club, made these, back in the day. The "K" extension for the tail is notoriously warped. Godspeed, and Good Luck, U poor b stard! U have my sympathies!

The Cap'n took me grog an dumped it in the scuttlebutt so all I have to fall back on is me morphine an psychotropic drugs. So fat I got the tail off and fit the resin in and it isn't too bad but then there is always tomorrow.
If this dont work Ill just build it as an E out of 412 squadron.

OK Mike, lets see;
It comes with two complete fuses and a drawing on where to draw the line for the cut to no return.
I took some of mu scribing templates and laid them across the area to make a straight cut with my foil saw.
and it worked like a charm
dry fit it into place and it looked pretty good so I just sanded the resin to fit and squared off the plastic.
Glued them all together and lookie here
Wing fit is another matter all together so Ill attack that in future episodes.
