Looks good.... like that little logo on the tail area.
Seems to be really shinny are you going to use Dullcote ?

I was going to, but the real warbird has a lot of shine to it. I know the real one didn't, but the only one I have ever seen is the one in the museum, and it looked nice. It is this aircraft that I was trying to model. I don't think it looks too bad for one of my first attempts.

They look great!!!!!!
Did you run into problems when you were removing the old markings?
Guess you're already thinking of the next one...and the next one.....and the next one.....and the next one.....:-)))
Addicting, isn't it?

[mustangdriver]

No problems, it just took a little time. I used Squadron decal remover. What was really great was that the Fm's P-40's come with the canopy off, so I didn't have to mask much. Yes, it is very addicting. I have done two now, and I am glad to have both of them in the collection.

You know chris,
Once you start doing this .....you will be doing more of them
I think it's fun to do if you have a extra one laying around and make what you want.

Same here man. I would never do it to my only one of anything in my collection, but I thought I would give it a try on a P-40 and Corsair purchased just for this reason. I am happy overall, in fact I think my P-40 paint job is better than te one that was on the model in the first place.

Great job MD! This is exactly why I think we need diecast that are pre-painted/non-specific markings or blanks. I know we discussed the pros and cons of this a while back, but I still think it's a great idea.

in-progress. unfortunately, i'm using a decal sheet from 2001 and have run into problems with them falling apart. it's taken some work but i think it will be ok. sorry for the pic quality...took it with my phone.
