Love the P-40; hope to see it offered on ECards.

That's the plan Wyvern. I'm in the process of finding out how to submit models to Ecards at the moment.

In the meantime this is where I'm at with the next P-40- a 57th FG long-tail 'F'. Please bear in mind these are test builds so any errors you see (in this case I forgot to do the panel lines over the insignia) will be rectified when the models are put to sale.

Your P-40s got me going "WT..." They are awesome!!!

Thanks Falco. Trouble is I'm spending a lot more time repainting than I am test building. I've got a couple of rostered days off coming up which I'll dedicate to building so hopefully I should have the P-40F completed as well as the Coastal Command Boeing Fortress that I promised and should have submitted to downloads ages ago.

Nearly there. Sorry for the delay with this one. I'm preparing a landing gear option that if works out, will be submitted to downloads with this model. The landing gear sheet will include two extra sets for the previous two B-17 repaints.

Yay! I can delete my old WIP! This RAF Fortress II (IIA?) looks very nice.

Just submitted this to downloads for approval. It's a Boeing Fortress II of 251 Met Sqn RAF out of Reykjavik towards the end of WWII.
I resized to 1/100 and repainted Bruno's original 1/300 B-17F 'Memphis Belle'.
For this model I thought a basic landing gear would be in order so I came up with what you see here which happily doesn't look too bad and which I've also submitted to downloads with the sheet having 3 sets- the extras are for my two previous B-17 recolors. Thanks for the patience and I hope you consider 'Cutie' as worth the wait.

Thanks Cafe. From what I can ascertain 'Mk II' corresponded with the B-17F, while 'IIa' the earlier B-17E and then of course the Mk.III being the B-17G.

The download has a typo: it's labelled as a Fortress III but should be II.

I like the P-40s and the Fortress II.
