The tri color scheme would look pretty cool Bud[8D] as tthat would probably be the best choice other than a BMF for a late war A/C. Now post lots of pics[swg]
I am suprised no one has mentioned the XP-55’s recent movie appearance.
The XP-55 showed up in “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow”. The were used by the Royal Navy. They were all CGI (of course), but they appeared to be in typical RN/RAF wartime camo. Just a thought for your what-if build.
Now that’s cool. Going to have to rent that.
Thanks for the info and it looks like a cool movie.
Bud
Well I rented the movie and it was so so. The planes they had in there kind of looked like the XP-55. They looked cool though.
Bud
I know, I know. This it talking a LONG time and y’ll have build 5 kids each by now LOL. I am not going to wait anymore for the resin parts. All I realy need is the seat so I am going to start today… [party]

[#ditto][#ditto]and[#ditto]
Well Bud, whuddya gotta say about that?[swg]
All the talk about a different paint scheme is interesting. I may get another kit and paint it silver with an olive drab panel in front of the cockpit like some of the P-47s. It was a fun model to build.
Well what can I say. I could not start it because I did not have all the parts. SUE ME [:P]
I got the resin parts from Squadron and there so so, at lest the seat is GOOD [:D]
More pics comming soon…
And gking86, your right, the talk about the paint schemes are cool and it would be cool to see some of them on a model.
Have a GREAT day all
