1/72 Airfx P-40
Posted by fermis on Saturday, January 30, 2016 2:38 PM

Just wrapped this one up as well.
Basic kit, no troubles. Just a fun, relaxing OOB build.

That is beautifully done, Fermis! I can only hope my P-40E will eventually turn out that good.  :)

I like that. What did you use for masking the camo?

    I have found a modeling goal.  Practice until I can achieve a finish something like Fermis gets on a relaxed oob build, and hope I can get there before I'm " clipped off the sprue of life."  ( see editorial in March fsm for that quote ).  

      I really like your model.

Beautiful work on that P-40! I thought it was a larger scale until I saw your hand in the photo! Sweet Big Smile

Yes, nice work, I like looking at Airfix kits that are built, especially the P40.  Your paint job turned out really, really well.

That's some very fine work there, especially in that smaller scale.
