Hello! and welcome to my first *Proper* aircraft build log. i will be buildign the amtech p-40 K which includes a resin tail and some newer cockpit and exhaust parts that were not manufactured with the original ERTL kit. the tail is fairly nice, the engraving is a little deeper than the kits usual panel lines, so i will deepen those to match (as best as i can) Also in theis build Mr Eduard is coming to visit, with his express mask set for the K, and the set for the Amt-ERTL p-40 E with the pre painted pe bits. guset starring today will be True details P-30e/n wheel set (weighted*give me a break they were the cheapest  *) and Ultracast P-40 F-N Flared exhausts, and the Ultracast p-40 Seats with British harnesses |

well As im building this alongside the Nardi, i havent got much done! but im enjoying this so far.! the tail came off okay (seemings i dont have a razor saw) and i have been re scribing the panel lines a little to make them a little more prominent, Bye old tail!!  hello new one  ulracast exhausts fitted  and compared to the kit ones  and a one wheel bay has been done    im enjoying this so far, im planning on detailing the office a little more, has anyone got any clear cockpit floor, and sides detail photos, also a pohoto of the area where the rudder peadsl live would be good! thanks for following! |

Looking really good James! The blending of the resin tail into the plastic looks very neat. |
