Looking very impressive there Greco, even if it is "little" LOL. It actually looks great. I have one in 1/48.

Thanks clifford its my first time trying to replicate a little used and abused weathering. So far I am having fun experimenting with technics I have not used before, like airbrushing those black trails on the wings,some of you make it look so easy

looks nice, a pity that the out of register decals don't point at the same direction. Good luck with the weathering top seems nice. hope you can tone down the bottom a bit.

Congrats for the work so far. Me too I've built this kit, and I must confirm that decals really sucks. But you are doing a good job. Keep it up 🙂

You are a brave soul trying it with the airbrush, I use pastel chalks, that way if I mess it up I can wipe it off and re-do it. I am going to try it with the airbrush also, and am going to try pre-shading with the airbrush.

oh yeah decals are tick as paper and won't react even to Solvaset, didn't pay much attention to face the out of register in the same direction...good point Bart...what you guys think I should do to tone down the bottom... its paint and pretty much wont come clean up, I was thinking on re-spraying those areas with the base color maybe?

Bart Goesaert
I think it would be the better choice...

I would overspray a light coat of the base color, but to me it doesn't look all that bad.

After debating re-spraying the bottom or leaving alone I decided to bite the bullet and did it, i was affraid it was goint to end up in the junk yard but I think it will pass. I also worked on the top while I was at it

Great looking P-40. I have been seduced by the little side. I am going to get a 1/72 scale SU-27 and Mig-25.
