The 800 series, a caveat:

With essay type questions "RTFQ" and "ATFQ" are commonly scrawled in red ink by the graders. A lot of other stuff too that wasn't very nice in some of the schooling I took.

Some times I still wonder if I correctly answered the questions on the correct size and color earring for females to wear and the angle of torpedo tubes on a Los Angeles class submarine, but I got promoted so I must have done ok. The Navy went through a period of condensing multiple ratings into one so we all got to take advancement tests having questions on stuff that we had no clue about. My day job now requires strict attention to detail to search out and find the mistakes of others, but I bet I could still screw up an 800 series build. Glad to have your perspective and experience around.

thanks for posting David, I love looking at your works.I got a set of acrylic artist paints off Ebay, and am building a 500 P-40 for display, and i'm going to try your technique. a while back you posted a helicopter. I know its not a Guillows, but was it wood?

thats not my P-40. I was looking through the Aerodome, or whatever it's called, and downloaded this cause It was what I want mine to be likle. I've been thinking about paint & thare are alot more schemes from these P-40's than i thought. There's a tan/browv camo I like(probably North Africa Camo), but I'm just sick of the sharks teeht.. Yes, I love the AVG, but so many other squadrons used the shark mouth, they wore it out, and IMHO took nsomething away from the guys originally in the AVG. Besides, I dont think it comes with Chinese decals.

The location of that P-40 model looks strangely familiar. hhhmmmm.

I know what you mean about shark teeth on a P-40. Done to death.
