P40E Aleutian Tiger

much better

another thing if there is that much wear and tear on the wing roots(which looks good maybe a bit to even) but I would think the paint on the nose art would be more sun damaged and just wore off more....


but that is just me..... it does look excellent

Wow that was quite an adjustment! I like.

Ok some changes made, increased the lines, blended the wings better and got rid of the discolor, did some emboss magic and will be adding some small chipping to the paint tomorrow. These being in a wet cold cloudy Alaska environment with whipping wind (Williwaws) and volcanic type sand on the ground with no trees, just shrubs... they got a bit sandblasted but not sun bleached. Water spray was also an issue.













Hope ya'll like,

Submit it.

Looks fantastic now, you've come a long way.

One thing to correct before you submit it. The rear cutout for the exhaust is too big. there should be a sunken area behind the exhaust, but you skinned it as a part of the rear opening. Here's a pic of a real P-40 so you can see what I mean.

Hmmm I had added color there but it looks like it didn't take - I will fix that.
Going to do away with the black against the teeth also - thats wrong.
