First 1/72 i’ve tackled successfully in a while. While by no means “perfect” (whatever that means…) it is by far a better effort than the 109 i did - which was the first build after coming back. My shelf-of-doom has 3-4 items that i’ve set aside, so this is the second completion…
This was part of a weekend madness on another site. Better than the last one, not as good as the next.
Lyle.
Nicely done, Lyle.
The P-40 was my favorite as a kid, I thought it looked like the ultimate fighter, especially with the shark mouth. No matter the level of overall or recent experience, you turned out a very nice replication of a significant part of aviation history. Thanks for posting.

You’re welcome. Appreciate the comments.
Really nice job! Did the kit have any fit issues? I saw it at Hobby Lobby and thought that my son might like it.
Now you’re cookin’ with gas! Looking good Lyle, ya gotta love the Flying Tigers man. [Y]Keep 'em coming!

Mississippivol, no real fit issues. seems the lower wing was a bit off, but if I can tackle it, you guys can. Not a bad little kit for the price - HL had them for 25% off.
Texgunner, thank you. Perhaps we can shake more rust off as it goes forward! I think the new motto is better than the last one, not as good as the next one.
lyle i thought i had posted here. your hawk looks the business sir. very nicely done on my favorite plane.

Nice! Everyone’s gotta love that sharkmouth.
fightinjoe- thanks. I like that plane a lot. Will have to get it in a larger scale. I’d really like to see it!
Allen - those turned out better than i thought they were going to. Thanks for the comments.
