It was wort it - model looks much, much better.

It does, indeed. All the AAA damage repaired and a sweet Allisonoid engine, too!

Happy New Year and good modelling in 2009, Glen!

"Allisonoid" = RR Merlin transformed into an Allison.

Nice, clean work! The "Allisonoid" looks great and I eagerly await the release of your AVG version of an already great model.

Don, you have it all wrong, it's not an Allisonoid, but a Merlisson, (the difference can be told by sound)

Lil has been telling me I need to get my ears checked.

Nice work on the wing structure!

Progress on the Tomahawk, smoothly now, wing skins painted but not weathered yet. Tail not painted so will be in this place for a bit

Glen,
You just make sure that this plane makes it into GreMir offer or there will be a riot :D
I always wanted to build four P-40 models:
1. Pearl Harbor - done.
2. AVG - waiting for Glen

3. Desert Air Force sharkmouth - waiting for files
4. P-40E flown by Japanese in Rangoon - no luck :(
There is also P-40M from ModelArt but I treat it as a bonus.

Thank you Mike, Its fun! It may be that this is the only early P-40 of Boyington that is available in model form thus far, so am excited about the project. Quite a bit of work, but just about to the point where can start rigging Cleo as have been drawing details of rigging on pages of paper in attempts to learn where all these lines go. It would be an honor to make this available for builders when the rest done, makes a cool plane with cool history.
