I got through a big hold up.  Figured out how to do vacuform again.
This is the sliding section that has come out and is suitable!   I started this project two years ago now...

The kit that is out is the royal class.  I'll pick one up eventually but maybe don't need the Royal Class.
So far the kit looks really good!
And they plan to do all the marks including the Merlin version.

Eduard issues special editions of the ROYALL CLASS type. These are particularly expensive and in very limited numbers.
It is likely that individual customers as well as shops have already bought up the anticipated print run.
However, I believe it will still be on sale soon, especially as it is only due out in January 2025.
The other standard Profi-Pack and Weekend edition sets will not appear until March/April.

Soon!  Accepting pre-orders on the E royal class.
This kit contains two full kit sprues so you can build one "E" and on "mark IA".

Looks really good and I thought the Hasegawa from 20 years ago was best in shape accuracy!

Trying to get the mojo going again on this project.
Pilot seat done.  These are after market seat belts made of heavy paper.

Exciting!
If it is from Eduard then it will certainly be good.

Awesome!
I've always liked Adair's P-40N.
Seems impossible that he even landed it.

Nice job!  Great looking Warhawk.

Improved the kit's gun sight.
UV cure glue was used to attach a new and thinner glass part I cut.
Also UV glue used to make the clear "lens" bubble.  UV glue is coming in very handy!

Slow but sure progress.

The Eduard Brassin wheels are a sight to see.  Gorgeous product.
But I was worried about cleaning up the hub spokes.
Fortunately, my Dremel and I found a way:

Prop is painted.  Just needs some weathering.

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 !!

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!

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!

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.
