  I've always liked the colorful Parrot Head nose art used by the P-40N's of the 502 Fighter Squadron ( not least because I am a big Jimmy Buffet fan).

  The model fits well, with almost no need whatsoever for putty. I used Testors Modelmaster paints with raw umber oil paint washes, as well as some pastel weathering.

  It was a lot of fun, with the painting & weathering taking a bit longer then building the model itself. Funny, I didn't think I was a P-40 fan, but I just discovered I have eight built P-40's in my collection! Guess I'll have to get started on an AVG version :-)
