1/72 Academy P-40N

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

  Indonesia Independence Day 2005 

 

This is an Academy 1/72 P-40N, built straight from the box, the only addition being the seatbelts from masking tape.

Markings depict a P-40N of RAAF, stationed on Morotai in the Moluccas Isle in the eastern part of the former Netherland East Indies (presently known as Indonesia), circa 1943.

Decals are from Tally Ho which silvered badly over 3 coats of Future. Using Micro-sol and Mr. Mark Softer didn’t yield results.  The decals finally settled after using the ultimate decal softener : plastic cement !!!

Enjoy !
