In
this Trumpeter kit, I liked the good quality of plastic, thin edges of
wings. At first look the kit is good fit to drawings from "In
action", "The War in Air" and some other magazines &
book's. I think Trumpeter's Tomahawk is rather good, but this set has the
wrong cockpit and terribly big rivets.

The
fabric rivets was put away and new dots made with a gear wheel. The model
was partially re-scribed.
Part
of Eduard photo etched set for the P-40E was used with additional over patching
(flaps & some small details did not fully fit as they were for P-40B, of
course ) ;)

The
"Mosquitte" exhaust pipes & "Equipage" wheel's (rubber
and resin) was installed on this model. I like that kind of aftermarket products
very much and recommend theirs to all modelers. For panting, I used AKAN enamels
(repack of DuPont automobile paint).
Best
wishes,
Michael
