Overall I'm quite pleased with the results, all of the new techniques one learns from from great sites like this one are starting to pay off. As always there is room for improvement but then that's the fun of it......bring on the next one!

All comments welcome

Regards

Chris

Very nice Chris. That's very well put together and painted. It looks really menacing in the front quarter shot.

Great to see someone else posing a model in flight too!

Cheers

Cheers Steve,

I do feel that most aircraft look much better in flight and as the base for my Harrier turned out well I thought this beauty good do with the same treatment......."But Curtiss what big teeth you have"

Like the other chaps have mentioned, a great build and looks deadly! Also, like I think I've mentioned before on one of your builds, loving those display stands.

Great build, the P40 does look a bit 'angry' in pic 1.....
