Parrot Head - no not about Jimmy Buffet

That looks good

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!

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

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 !!

[P-40 Admin]

That's great news! Hadn't heard about it, I will look them up.

That is great news!  Perhaps we will have an accurate Merlin P-40F/L in that scale!

I do believe the Hasegawa P-40s are very good in that scale...but they are already approaching 20 years old.
Time for Eduard to work their magic!

In the next holidays there will be an E version, the next ones will probably be F/L

Prop is painted.  Just needs some weathering.

Nice work on the prop, Vince!
