Well my friends another update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. This one is all about the wings. Construction of the framework is done. The stringers are in. The ammo box is in. The wing has been prepped for the armament. Next up is adding some color. First is a base of Stynelrez Metal Primer. On that a very uneven almost haphazzard coat of Stynelrez Flat Black. The true colors start with a patchy coat of Model Master Acrylic Zinc Chromate Yellow. This coat is to mimic the actual primer coat of WW2 aircraft. Model Master Enamel Olive Drab is sprayed paying attention to the panel lines but allowing a bit of overspray in areas. A bit of sun bleaching is added by spraying Olive Drab lightened with Model Master Enamel Flat White. Honestly it is how I had hoped.       Next step is the little bits and bobs for the interior of the wing and then to attach the wing to the fuselage. You can see one of the major issues upcoming, that wing root gap. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Screaming good job on that wing Joe! Way to go; everything looks like a 1:1 build. I think you'll have no issues fixing that gap.

A quick update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. In short the wing is on. It took a massive six hour battle but it is on. There was some collateral damage. Of the damage some I was able to work with, the rest I cannot fix without total tear down. Not sure I want to go there at the moment. For now.    Now I can move on. My real decision is do I place the details in the wing and risk breaking them in the rest of the process or do I move on with decals and smaller parts. Gonna have to think on that one. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Joe, from these pics I cannot see any damage. Everything still looks excellent. I'd say fix what you can, disguise or hide what you can't, and move on the the smaller detail pieces. Live and learn; you got this man, you are a Master at this already.

If you can work around the details, add them in. I agree with JCON...you might rest better if you add them in! It looks fantastic as it is, tho!
