decals and some weathering being done now,
curiously Eduard gives two sets of fuselage statement? decals but shows only the port side applied, Im very tempted to do the stb side as well otherwise it's just a single Russian star, what you all reckon? decals 24 and 38

ok decals on stb side as well now, all finished, will leave for a day before the final flatcoat, then onto the home run.
here's one set of figures done too, Note - the lighting makes the faces really weird!! discount that.
this set up as well will go with what I have in mind
and!!

all these will be added to a dio board, so a work in progress project.
The P-40 isn't for this one!!
Cheers!

That's a Sharkmouth Flying Tigers bird!!!
How could you even suggest that!!!!
Thanks for your kind offer but I've not built a ''Tigers'' P-40 and do love those markings - I could use the other two ''right'' colour numbers from Gunze, Model Master or Humbrol for it though. all they say is ''light brown, light blue, - other is Olive drab which is obvious

progress from today on and off and tonight.
prop housing now correctly fitted after a horridly scary removal of the part, it sat to high so when the spinner cap was placed onto the prop assembly and fitted into the housing, it fouled on the extended piece at the top of the nose, causing a huge gap. It's now nicely recessed with the correct spacing and spins good.
you can see here the extended nose piece that was fouling the prop spinner

Phil , I can honestly say that I like the paint job. Great model and effort from your part.

What great progress youve made Phil, love it

This is a nice kit to do, if you can get hold of one you will enjoy the build.
You will have to dry fit that prop assembly with spinner cap fitted when the fuselage is together to avoid the mishap I had but apart from that it's a sweet build.
I posed the rear gunners canopy open, and just found a photo showing a hold strap so will add that later.
Undecided if I will have the pilots canopy open or closed so it's just blu taced at the moment.
I think the brass tube worked well for the surprisingly poor renditions of the gun barrels the kit offered as they give you a good sprinkling of small detailed parts that make this kit a real winner in my eyes.
So here is my ''Flying Tank''
borrowed the base from the Walrus
