Hi Guys.

I thought I'd better start a new thread for this rather that hi jack the SPAW thread. The other day CJ sent me his nose file, but in fitting it to my model I found I had to change quite a bit. Sorry CJ. I found the nose to be a very complex shape, with the raised gun mountings, and spaces between the guns. Anyhow, this is how the model looks now. I work in L/H side profile only and then mirror the model, and join them together. That way the mapping is always identical, as are the elements.



Rivet counter comments welcome.

Brillant!

ahh, a pleasure to watch the master at work.

I doubt you have any elements left over, Colonel.
What about the exhaust ports? Any room?

No problem, John, I have my hands quite full! Looks good....

Hi John,

Which version are you developing?
It looks like an early 'B' or 'C' version of the P-40.

If so, will you also be making the later P-40'D' or 'E' version?

Nose looks pretty good so far....

Cheers mate

Not sure which version, as it's based on your drawing!

My Drawing?????

sorry David,

I've got you and CJ mixed up!

You know, Dementure Rules KO!

OK, it's this is the drawing:

That's okay John....
as long as the ladies don't make that same mistake
I think we'll be alright

The model your working on is the early 'B/C' model
which will suit the DAW Campaign. However, once you've
completed it. I'll ask my compatriant if he would convert it
into the later 'E' version for SPAW...

That is, if he doesn't mind...

Cheers mate
David

And what versions will Ade need?

I'm adding 3dz exhaust stacks, but to do it I've had to totally rebuild the nose again!

But, it will be worth the effort.

Once I have a good nose section, it will be sent over to CJ to mod it into all the other front ends. At that stage, I'll build the later tail.

Once we have all these bits it should be possible to have every P-40 combo in HR.
