first attempt at tissuing, the nose is a little wrinkled, as are the two sections aft of the cockpit.

Sometimes a bit of saliva (yes, spit)directly on a troublesome wrinkle will help.

Check out the Warhawk featured here,http://www.smallflyingarts.com/Archives/Spotlight/P40/P40_warhawk.htm You may get some ideas! Is my memory correct, this is the plane of the "Flying Tigers"

Yup, the P-40 WarHawk plane of the FlyingTigers. The original FlyingTigers WarHawks had China insignia on them because America had not fully entered the war yet. Those P-40’s were flown by U.S. fighter Pilots who volunteered to fly for China. At least that’s what I remember. Enough with the history lesson :p. Two questions first, did you cover it using the dry or wet method, and two, did you use the 50/50 glue/water mix or did you use dope? It’s a nice looking model.

P-40 at smallflying arts is not mine (I wish)! All I remember about the skin was that it was chalked paper and the plane was very attractive.
