1/48 Revell Monogram P-40B

--------------------

 

This was an okay model, and took a little work.  It did not have a lot of detail, but still some.  It came with flaps that could be dropped.  The exhausts were drilled out, tape seat belts were added, and I put plastic card around the exhausts.

Masking was fun and there was a little bit of it.  I used normal painters tape to mask exhausts, and the bottom.  I used scotch tape for the canopy.  The decals were very thick, and had bubbles.  I still do not know how to get rid of them.   This is annoying.  The gun sights were annoying also.

If you do not mind a little work, for the price it is a good kit.  I like having a P-40 in my collection.  The instrument panel also looks like a P-40 D instead of B.
