That is great John! All it needs is a Wild Bill Kelso figure to go with it….

That cutie looks like it suffered a laundry problem! It seems some shrinkage is evident! Or, perhaps the water was just cold...

Re: AVG Hawk 81 A2 (P-40)
As well as resuming work on my Buffalo, I also resumed work on my P-40.
First up was drilling out the exhausts
after that I installed the exhaust stacks and from portion of the nose, as well as the nose gun fairings
I also figured out a way to add some sheet styrene after closing up the wing into the wheel wells to fill the gap and replicate the missing skin and wing spar in there. I also filled the mount point for the drop tank, as AVG Hawks we’re not able to mount drop tanks
lastly I had previously added the horizontal stabilizers
Just about ready for some basic painting…

Re: AVG Hawk 81 A2 (P-40)
Coming along swimmingly!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
