1/32nd P-40E as a Kittyhawk Mk 1, 112 Sqn, North Africa

Finished today, Hasegawa 1/32nd P-40E Kit, with Eduard Big Ed set and Barracuda Decals to do Clive Caudwells aircraft from 112 Sqn. Masked and sprayed the mouth rather than use the decals which never seem to fit properly.
 
Painted with Akan paints - horrible things, and replacement Gunze for the Middle Stone. Weathered with AK Oils and Pigments in a number of layers.

I also had issues with the Undercarriage snapping. I had to drill and pin the main landing gear struts. Painted with Gunze throughout, with Oil weathering Peter
