Hey there, Max.

Good you rescued this from the trash, good looking model and a nice, clean build.

Your figure piqued my interest (I mean the little pilot, not your physique) because I am in the process of painting my first 1/48th figure (as an adult). It's a pilot too. Spend a couple hours 'blocking him out' (and secretly wishing M Brindos or some other fig painter expert was there looking over my shoulder). I was thrilled, a modeling task that held my interest for over 7 minutes, regardless that I had no clue what I was doing.

Your guy looks just fine, and thanks for giving me some sort of sense of direction on the yellow vest, which I presume is a life-jacket.

I built this last year as the third kit for me.  I recently donated the build to a young modeler.  Mrs. Toshi just repurchased this kit for me.  You did a great job on this build!  Excellent!  Love the camoflauge!

Ain't nothin' wrong with that, brother!Toast It's cool to see you crank out a good looking replica from that old mold.

I always feel guilty about posting my models after looking at the incredible work others are doing by going the extra mile. Lawdog's recent P-47 comes to mind not to exclude others, so I always apologize for my clean standard build that meets the requirements for Max's Comparitive 1/48 Aircraft Museum.  Embarrassed

I needed a P-40 for a slot and purchased this guy for about $10 at HL. After opening the box and looking at it I placed it in the trash can. Max's Museum deserves better. A couple of days later I saw the shark grin in the trash and accepted the challenge at least for fun. Not much time spent but I do like camoing things as you can tell!

A standard build to fill the niche. I even did the goofy pilot who looked to be sleeping in the cockpit. Maybe the wing will be better. All for fun, that's what modeling is all about!

Check it out (don't look too close.) Actually since joining the Forum, I do have a good time presenting my examples and photographing them. Not many visitors to the museum--You're a good audience Gang, Thanks!
