     The newly tooled Hasegawa  P-40E is an excellent kit,  but it  needs some putty and sanding effort for the seams of the multi part design fuselage.

     It's built mostly OOB except for the “Tally Ho” PE gunsight, “Ultracast” resin exhaust set  and  moving part of the “Squadron” vacuform canopy produced for the AMT kit.

     The painting was done with the “Gunze Sangyo” acrylics.  I've used Neutral grey for the lower surfaces and Dark earth with Dark green for the upper surfaces.
