P-40 Warhawk 39-156


Recommended Posts

My next project will be to build this P-40 Warhawk.

I have a few question though...

  • What color would the cockpit be? I noticed that the rear fuselage/windows are left unpainted.
  • Would the cowl guns be installed? If not, what do I do with the front instrument panel where the guns would be? Obviously no wing guns.
  • What color would the wheel wells be? Also, would they have the fabric covers in them?
  • I assume the tire are smooth tread(?)
  • Which seat would it have? Round or square back? Lap belt and shoulder harness, or just lap belt?
  • No frames on the front windscreen.
  • It is hard to see, but I don't see the two fuel filler ports behind the rear windows(?) (Why would there be two ports for fuel?)

I will probably have more questions as I start building,

Thanks for any help you can offer me.
