This is a great kit! Highly recommend, goes together nicely. I also added some AM -Ronin Decals, I painted Roundels and tail though
-Eduard Brassin resin wheels
-Master Models Brass blast tubes
- HGW Models harnesses
For the base, the Marsden matting is 3D printed, (file is free on Cults 3D), Palm trunks are 3D prints but leaves are PE, (Verlinden). Also some laser cut plants from Ammo Mig and some static grass.

A very well built P-40 with a good lookin’ base to put it on to boot. Those HGW seat belts are tha bomb and help in taking your cockpit to the next level. I didn’t know that Trumpeter offered a P-40 kit at all but it looks like you turned out a good build of it here. How much trouble was the build?

Great efforts on this one Grant.

Hey Joe, this is a cracking kit, no issues! I was worried a bit because I did their F4U-1D, and that was very ordinary, but this was a dream. They do several variants of the P-40 in 1/32

I built a Trumpy 1/24 Bf109 several years ago and THAT thing was severely over engineered. I mean…I got through the build and all but dang…that was one mean build.
I am glad to hear that this one was a good amount of fun for you to build by being trouble free.
