Well here's where I am now, cleaning up overspray and paint leakage.
"I dream in fire but work in clay." -Arthur Machen
due to a deadline, the P40 for this build has been moved up the roster. Pictures should be coming in the next few days!
------------------------
Now that I'm here, where am I??
Sounds good. I got the wings on the F102 last night. Not an easy fit. I just have to get some C clamps. The clips I have just don't work for some things. I'll send up some images later or tomorrow.

Bearcat got its first lick of paint, went back in the "not sure what to do now" pile.
here is the top iwng of my biplane its not finished yet but here is my work so far.
as stated earlier, I have moved the P-40 up in the cue. This is the Revell/Monogram kit in 1/48th scale. I'm not going for a super-detailed office because I plan to build it with the closed canopy. This kit actually builds up so quickly, I forgot to take more photos!

oh, may I add another kit to my roster? I'd like to do an A-10 crossover with my Odd Animals GB. Its the Revell/Monogram kit in 1/48th.
Nice choice. I have a couple of those in my stash too, and one of their big 1/32 cousins. It's a fun little kit.

All set.

thank you, sir
here are some WIP pics of the warthog---yes I am building multiple kits at the same time. I've gotta get this stash reduced some how!
The A-10 in 1/48 is a big kit..same size as a B-25! This will probably be a ceiling hanger because I have little shelf room for a model this big.
and since its an in-flight model, I have to have someone flying it! The Warthog will have a USAAF paint scheme inspired by P-40 decals that I have, so the pilot is also painted in USAAF colors. I've only started to paint figures and I think this one turned out pretty well!
nice im thinking of hanging some models from underneath a shelf (the ones with the landing gear up)
thats a cool pilot figure, good too see that p40b tomahawk coming together aswell
The P40 does go together pretty well, the biggest gaps where in the wing root, which I made smaller by attaching the lower wing first, them gluing the top wing to the root and once that was dry, pinching them together. And here are some shots of the cockpit detail. All I added was a bit of putty on the seat to get rid of the pilot slot and some masking tape seat belts.
the cockpit assembly also left some gaps whee you could see through the entire plane, so I blocked those in with a square of paper towel painted interior green and super glued into place. The Wheel wells were also not boxed in, but since some P40s had a canvas covering in there, I pulled the paper towel trick again. (that is the white thing you see in the middle of the wing)
while the wings were drying, I worked on the landing gear. I added brake lines made of wire.
and here it is with wings and tail attached
Off to the paint booth next!
Hey owl, did your A-10 come with teeth? like the warthog mouth? Im looking for some teeth for my bearcat and the sharkmouth decal ive got wont suffice.

the Hog didnt come with mouth decals. Im sourcing them from my spares. What are you looking for?
I think I might have a spare set of decals from a 1/32 P-40 Revell kit. It would be large, but hey, that's even more wild. lol

sparrow what do you think of this 112th squadron warhawk shark face decals 1:72, on my hannover bipe?
they just fit on the body halves it would be pretty wild wouldn't it?
Sounds like it's gonna be interesting.

More work on my two kits:
The Warhawk has been masked (masking that canopy took a good half hour, sheesh!) and the first couple of colors are on. The cream color also doubled as a primer coat for the yellow. I have to say, however, that the Testors rattle cans have VERY good coverage. Even with glossy yellow--Im quite impressed.
The cockpit is all painted up for the Warthog...and I wonder why I need glasses. Here is one factor in my bad eyesight I'm sure! LOL
OWL... looking good !

p38jl OWL... looking good !
Just looking for the mouth decals for my bearcat, something a little more like a bear than a sharkmouth, i can order them offline but it seems a bit of a waste ordering a whole decal sheet just for 2 decals.
Scorpiomikey: all I have are shark mouths, nothing bear-like.
thats cool, thanks anyway, ill come up with something, even if i have to paint it on myself.
I let the Yellow cure for a few days to avoid the tape peeling it up. Here is my "Wild Wings" design. I present to you, the "Hawkeye Warhawk!"
