A classic model of a famous WWII warbird
By pmmaker May 5, 2013
This is an older mold from Monogram, but it is still a good one. The model includes a well detailed cockpit which features an engraved instrument panel, molded ribs and controls on side walls, a detailed seat, control stick and flap handle, throttle controls, and a detailed pilot figure. Other features include operating wing flaps and the optic gun sight. For an old kit, the engineering is fantastic. The only filling and sanding I had to do was to the wing to fuselage gap. I was able to add exhaust staining through a slight application of Tamiya pastels. Painting was straight forward per the kit instructions. The only negative issue I encountered was a weakness in the landing gear struts. They could not support the weight of the model and I needed to strengthen them with a thin piece of stretched plastic sprue glued to the strut and wing. Intended for a builder in the intermediate skill level, this model can be modified into an outstanding representation of an iconic WWII warbird.

NEAT KIT & PLANE
By nylonval February 25, 2013
This kit was easy to build over the week-end but applying those shark teeth was tricky ; just take yer time. Once in place those teeth gave the P 40 a dangerous look ! For the $ this kit is worth it !
