SPAM Informal P-40 GB 2025

Annoyingly, in the process of clearing up the seams I've broken off some of the wing gun barrels.

I've just order a couple of sets of these...

[LyleW]

That is a tough break. Bad pun not intended.

LOL! To be honest, they're so flimsy I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner!

[LyleW]

Finally got the canopy masks I ordered. Strange tracking. Anyway, they arrived.

And true to form, I can't find one of the "ear" windows...the starboard side. So I cut one from some clear stock and will mask it then paint. Good-er-nuff.

[Stuart]

I'd like to say I've never done that but I've totally done that

[LyleW]

Well, the masks are for Eduard P-40E and don’t fit. And I found the missing piece and replaced the homemade one. Eighty-four (28.88C) yesterday. Cold wind down about 30 degrees soon. Uyghurs.

[Stuart]

That does sound nasty!

I'm currently awaiting a masking set, and some new gun barrels for mine.

[LyleW]

It has gotten quite cool, but not cold.

Painting each frame segment on the canopy individually...

[Stuart]

That's often the easiest way lyle, then tidy up with a cocktail stick - I do that all the time.
