The greatest of the P-40 ... F/L ... Eduard announced these versions as a new development in 1/48 scale!
The E version is to be released next year, followed by the F/L version...

I look with great envy at your P-40

... but I'm coming back to you soon, my dears, Eduard has announced a series of new P-40s in 1/48 scale !!

Wow, that's some very impressive work! Mine would not turn out like that 

I took a few hours to "correct" the prop.
It was the older narrow chord version used on the P-40E.
I suppose when Hasegawa put out later marks, they just didn't redo the prop.
Apoxie, superglue, and perfect plastic putty were used to make it a wide chord prop.
There was a product available from Grey Matter Figures for this wide prop.
But the product and company are defunct now.
I ordered some mold rubber so I can take an impression.  Don't want to have to do this again!

That looks good 

Fuselage is closed up.

Added rudder cables using thin wire.
Easy and looks the part.
they pass through little holes I drilled in the back bulkhead.

Very nice, great job on it!

Looks great!
Love to see more Merlin Warhawk models getting built.

Yes, that was very sad to see. He was from Minnesota where I live. I only saw a couple photos, and they were at a distance, one article I read said there was an apparent mechanical malfunction. I've been looking through my airshow photos, I thought I saw it at an air display nearby a few years ago.

Sad to see a man lost his life in a P-40 after all these years...
I saw that one at "Warbird Weekend" in Atlanta in 2016.
The photos in the article are hard to see because they make you watch a 30 second ad each time...
