Re: hawkenstein 2 1/05 update oooopppps.......

thanks for the kind words.

it very well could have been the paint is a bit older (good lord i bought it roughly ten years ago). and it could be i didnt thin it well enough. i did stir them this time though, normally i do shaken not stirred.

all in all sitting here looking at it, it dont look too bad. just was not the finish i had hoped for.

well here she is. approximately 400 pieces. 21 kit pieces, 3 resin. the rest are made up of styrene rod, tube, and sheet, soda can, wire, and putty. all told a pretty fun experience, although when i went to attach the landing gear i had a slight mishap, i broke off the prior lines. had to redo both gear.

comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

No Prop? I think the canopy is on backwards. I really like this Joe, you showed no inhibition in tackling scratch building and it really paid off.

What's next?

been a real interesting build to follow and the end results looks real good

excellent work! that old monogram P40 is reborn!

mp, dave, chris, many thanks for following along and the kind words.

mp actually the canopy is right it just shows how horrible the fit was. tried to give the illusion it was just hitting the point where it drops down to be latched. now for whats next, it will have four wheels.


chris not sure about it being reborn, someone with some actual skill could definitely make this kit a show stopper.

Very nice work Joe.

Where is the prop?

 

[fightnjoe]

adam thinking this is going to be in a dio at some time. a "mechanics dream" no prop and no panels to cover the engine.


thanks for the kind words.
