Trumpeter’s top curve of the nose is off, it is not as it needs to be, it has a distinct hump. Thanks God the plastic is thick enough to sand it flatter. So I sanded this area a little. The new shape satisfied me.

I have used Eduard instrument panel and CMK seat in the cockpit.  Exhaust are Eduard resin parts for Hasegawa.
Wheels comes from Hasegawa s P-40 parts.

I have used Gunze Sangyo acrylics.

Decals: Nose art and El Tigre decals are from Custom Hobby Decals Australia. The rest are from my spares box.

Happy modelling
