Some of their photos do make the war seem enjoyable at times. Making the best of a bad situation. Of course their situation is not the same as up on the front lines with the total lack any comfort or amenities.

The wallpaper is a killer! I'd love to cover a small corner of my living room with something alike.

I’ve been working on the final touches on this project. On Sunday I added the propeller, main landing gear struts, belly tank, and a strip of tissue paper in the tail wheel well to represent the canvas boot many P-40s had in there... and cover up the seam... I took these photos yesterday





This morning before work I painted the tires and tail wheel well boot... but no photos yet. All ready for the final bits now...

Your work looks beautiful!

That looks cracking Stik!

Thanks guys. Now I just need a few more hours at my workbench on this puppy...

Flat coat airbrushed on today...





Now I just need to add the final parts and weathering....

Carlos—lookin’ good! What’s gonna be your plan for weathering?
