Wow Brandon, that is a tale between two cities.  I never built the Hasagawa kit, but have built the Monogram one several times and it really is a blank canvas as far as detail.  I will be following this build as well.

Gota love the p- 40. My all time favorite.

Modern fighter would be the f-16 

Must be a air scoop thing.

Looking forward to this one, er two. Stick out tongue Very ambitious goals on that Monogram kit. Can't wait to see her all dressed up for the ball. I have pulled that E kit of the stash several times here lately wanting to build it.

Thanks Joe. I'll definately be refering back to this for the build, especially the painting.

This should be good Brandon. I'm looking forward to it. With the Hasegawa E, It's not so much the wing roots, those are fine, but all the damn inserts that fit lousy and don't fall on a natural panel lines. Get ready for a lot of sanding and rescribing. Or perhaps you'll have better luck.

A tale of two P-40B and P-40E -- COMPLETED !!!!!
Posted by BrandonK on Wednesday, December 23, 2015 10:31 PM

So, I've reached a point in the cold weather where I am nearing paint on my AH-1Z Viper, so I need something to do. I decided it is time to build my Monogram P-40B and why not build my Hasegawa P-40E at the same time. A tandom build if you will.

The Monogram kit will get a full Legend's resin pit, some PE, a rescribe, Squadron canopy, Quickboost exhaust manifolds and Montex masks. I also plan to add the radiator, wheel bays, and cowl flaps open. That should be fun.

The Hasegawa kit will get mostly OOB treatment, with a cockpit PE set and Montex masks.

I will enjoy seeing the major design differences between the two kits and I don't have any P-40's on display and that is just wrong.

I am also aware that the Hasegawa may have wing root issues. I'm aware of it and will deal with it as needed.

'Till I update this again, MERRY X-MAS !!!
