I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I haven't flown it yet, too windy here today.

Canopy not a problem!! Email Guillows and tell them what you need. They will email you back with cost plus shipping. (considering your need,cost will be nominal) You should have it in about 10 days...Luck, JGJ

Have you flown it yet?

I guess you will have to make one or write to Guillows!

Looks nice Bugeater. I think you'll find that Guillows will send you a canopy if you ask them nicely. Give them a call...

For a first try its a very good job!

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.

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.

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"

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

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