Voir et Savoir 32 - P-40B

Album image #1
Not really a box, I guess... 
 

Album image #2
A tiny sprue... but so much detail! 
 

Album image #3
Not much to it, I guess. A quick dry fit. 
 

Album image #4
Nice of them to leave room for the DC motor in the engine cowling. 
 

Album image #5
Fits... like a glove! 
 

Album image #6
All buttoned up. Also, sanded down the wheels to make them fit in the wells. 
 

Album image #7
Still needs a bit of work on the seams though. 
 

Album image #8
A bit of glue got behind the side walls of the canopy... best to keep it covered up with masking tape so you can't see my mistakes! 
 

Album image #9
First coat of paint... starting to look at the decals... myst be getting close! 
 

Album image #10
The underside grey... propellor painted red. 
 

Album image #11
Walk away from the workbench for a couple of months... now where did I put those wheels? Oh, right... in "safe keeping". Where was that again?! Luckily I've got a bag of spares... close enough. 
 

Album image #12
Painted up you can't really tell, right? 
 

Album image #13
Assembled... added an antenna... and promptly snapped it off. They're super small in 1/144 scale! 
 

Album image #14
Some weathering, some decals... need a new antenna... Time to get the base sorted out and we'll be all done!
