Continuing with my simple old model kits, I decided and building a Snap Tite P-40. These were great kits when I was younger, easy to build and great to learn on. I see now that Revell has Snap Tite kits but they are all painted and ready to go, thats no fun. I collected all these old Snap Tite kit, heck they are cheap and plan on building them all. The P-40 is from the mid 70s and comes with peel and stick decals. Monogram re released this kit in 1979 and added waterslide decals. I built this out of the box without glue but noticed some big gaps so I went over a few areas with glue, no filler was used. Built within a few hours then primed with Testors spray primer and painted with Testors bottle paints. These paints are cheap, I get them Hobby Lobby as a set with my 50 percent coupon, thats under a dollar a bottle. This model was hand brushed, still mastering that skill and I still need more work on my canopy frames. For years when I was airbrushing I would mask the canopy and I can tell you hand painting frames is much harder IMO.
