Hasegawa 1/72 P-40N

Not my best work, but overall I'm happy with it. Lots of issues trying to get the parrot head decals to fit and sit correctly. Ended up with a bunch of wrinkles, plus the cutouts for the exhaust weren't the right size so I had to fill in with some paint that was close. Luckily the weathering hid most of it. Used this guy to experiment with some new weathering techniques for me. First time using AK weathering pencils, first time doing some heavier exhaust weathering. I also experimented with doing the heavier chipping using a fine brush and Testors square bottle chrome and aluminum paints. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, both wings were warped into almost an inverse gull wing shape like a B-25. Both tops and bottoms were warped in the same direction so there wasn't much I could do about it. Oh well, this guy will sit at the back of the display case anyway.
