That’s flying along Ian. Looks to be a very good kit that you are having fun with. Wingfold looks excellent.

Impressive stuff with the chopping of wings and insertion of foldy bits, very interesting to follow Ian :thumb2:

Brilliant stuff Ian , another kit im going to have to look out for. Cockpit looks great and the folded wings are going to give added interest. Cheers tony

Thanks Tony, it’s a nice little kit, going together very nicely.
Well it’s all primed and ready for painting. But I’m not sure should I paint it pristine or chipped.

Yes, when things are drying you can move onto the others. I say others with the P40 I've got 3 on the go at the moment.

Ok Ian, this is #2 and I like the idea of the folded wings...I gotta go find the #3 now and see what you're up to...

Prost

Ian,
Looking good mate.

**Geoffers** · 13 July 2023, 08:26

Looking good Ian, I think it looks more interesting with the wings folded :smiling4:

Geoff.
