| Looks like the real plane in a hanger. Auto in bacrkground is a nice touch. |

| On wingspalette.com, + or -, there are 298 color schemes of 16 countries for a P-40. I'm sure there's more. |

| Well I havn't decided yet. If I do RNZAF colors I'm gonna build a N model. But I'm also thinking of a desert scheme from the squadrons that were in North Africa in which case I'll keep it a E model. I would like to build the wairaipa wildcat but I also want to use the sharks mouth decals. I've seen two P-40's on here with RNZAF colors so I might do something different. |

| No worries Ryan, what's the paint scheme going to represent ? That's the thing with P-40's, nearly every air force flew them so there's a ton of different representations that you can do. |

RTD, I've loaded two shots to show what I did with the tail. The N model has the horizontal stabiliser set in front of the pin (reverse in earlier P-40's) so I left the stabiliser where it was on the plans and added about a 2-3cm extension to what was previously the end of the fuselage. I left the fin (I think) in it's original shape but had to do some fiddling to get the rudder to match the fin. The fuselage between the stab and the fin is also different and I made custom pieces to represent this. Hope this helps and good luck with your build. |

| Great job Nigel! Your P-40 has become an inspiration for mine, gonna incorporate some of your features with my own. BY the way, how much longer did you make the fuselage for the N model? Did you just make the rudder bigger? |

| Great looking build Nigel! |

| Those exhaust stacks are goin to look mighty fine Nigel. Gotta love that pastel dust for weathering etc. Me thinks you've done some plastic kitset building in your past. |
