Just finished a Guillows P-40 and did some things well and some things that I can improve on. Here's a look at the contents of the new one - surprise, surprise - the wood was light for a Guillows kit and the die cutting is razor sharp. |

I think the P-40 shows its Art-Deco era roots from this angle. The late 30's and 40's were certainly the classic age of American industrial design. |

Bottom view. The kit makes no provision for the fairing that covers the landing gear mechanism. I made them out of laminated 1/32 balsa wrapped around a dowel wrapped in wax paper I used as a mandrel. The wheels are tissue. |

My P40 is now stationed in the skies above my room. All the rest are Dad's plastic kits. I did make the 1/72 262 that's about to have a crack at the "Memphis Belle". |
