Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (Eduard 1/48)

[draken35]

So, I've bought that kit at very attractive price last week during the IPMS Belgium national expo...

I'm too tempted to begin it, so let's have some fun (I hope...)

The kit is from Mauve, with usual Eduard add-ons like resin parts and photoetch elements.

First work is to assemble some elements...

This sound interesting

I made this a few years ago, as I remember it's a good kit with only a few smaller " issues ", decals are atractive and user friendly. Nice start !

For the first time I've tried Mr Paint color... Those paints are ready to use, like Vallejo Air. No need to dilute. Useful...

So, Interior Green airbrushed with a Badger 150 at 1 bar. Result is very fine. Airbrush was then cleaned with Tamiya Airbrush cleaner.

Mr Color is a laquer. Better to use it with a mask and open window (at leats after the seance...).

I'm very satisfied...

I'm trying new techniques with that build.
Using the Interior Green from Model Masters, I've lightened some structures to give more volume. Then with a lighter green I've realized some chipping. Here is the actual result...
