The Academy parts fit together well and the surface detail is crisp and convincing. Unfortunately the kit windscreen and spinner are simply not right and the OEM decals are awful, but all those issues are fixable. Really nice job you've done here. Have you tried one of the Special Hobby P-40 kits? They're absolutely brilliant even with the heavy-duty panel lines.
Well this is going to be interesting, I just picked this kit up as a return to building plastic models and wanted a bit of a guide to building and painting, now I need to figure out how to fix some of the shortcomings without the phot etc, or riveting tool. I think the straps are doable with some aluminum foil and sclupting putty. But I have no idea about the rivets or other details. I also dont have replacement decals, so even more fun!

Beautifully done. Fantastic that you built an Aussie aircraft too.
Great build once again. The pencil has a very nice effect! Looks pretty convincing. I am thinking of getting that same pencil now :)
Very good looking Aussie :) Great job and congrats
Well dobe my friend, you have finished the P40 to perfection, best regards from Australia.
Very nice build! Chipping with a pencil looks good and easier then using chipping fluid.
Thank you for replying 🙂
Great job.
