Hasegawa 1/48 P-40 E with Barracudacals

[Ralphonso]

I often stray from 1/48 AFV modeling to the world of winged things. This is the result of the last foray.

I first built this kit in early 2013 and was not happy about how dull it looked on my shelves. In 2014 a nice set of Barracudacals Aleutian Tiger decals came to me, so I decided to strip the model and give it a second go. I painted it with lighter tones of olive drab, applied the colorful decals, and weathered it a little differently than I normally do. Finally I added some EZ Line antenna wires (Thanks James Perrin, its a gift that keeps on giving), to give it that extra touch of realism. I'm very pleased with the upgrade and think I'll do the same with some of my other ho-hum older models.

Looks OK to me

I also have done some aircraft. A10 warthog, A1 sky raider, P51 mustang. UH-1C huey,& AH-64 apache. But I prefer my AFV's.

Excellent craftsmanship there. I am not that skilled, but I have fun with them.
