This is my first article
submitted to ARC. I built this for the Monogram Classics GB, and it
recently placed 2nd in our local contest. This is the repop of the
original Monogram P-40B kit. I used a Black Box resin 'pit
modified to fit the Monogram kit and with a little sanding, it actually
fit pretty well.
The decals were a hodgepodge of Soviet markings scrounged from my spare
sheets.
Weathering was done with a black enamel wash, some dry brushing, and
pastel chalks for the exhaust and gun blasts. Panel line were
penciled in.
I tried a new technique to simulate peeling paint. I sprayed
Testors Metallizer as a base coat, applied liquid mask, sprayed the main
paint scheme, then used masking tape to peel up the liquid mask.
When that was done, I drybrushed with yellow zinc chromate to simulate
wear. I think it turned out pretty well
I used stretched sprue for the rear gun site, copper wire for the brake
lines and small needles for the guns.
Hope you like it.
Enjoy,
Pete
