Building the Airfix 1/48 P-40B Warhawk (A05130)
In this video, I build the Airfix 1/48 scale P-40 Warhawk. I show techniques such as brush painting acrylics, glazing, post-shading, fading effect, decal application and enhancement of details.
P-40B Warhawk flown by 2nd Lt. George Welch, one of the few United States Army Air Corps fighter pilots able to get airborne to engage Japanese forces in the attack on Pearl Harbour.
47th Pursuit Squadron, 15th Pursuit Group, Wheeler Field, Oahu, Hawaii, December 7th 1941.
Scratch-made lap belts using masking tape and fine wire.
Antennae wire made using elastic EZ-line.
Brake lines added using braided thread.
All gun barrels drilled out.

Thanks for the video of your excellent build! Your attention to detail really shows in the finished model. One minor correction: the armor glass behind the windscreen was constructed with a metal frame, finished black, so that it could be attached to the windscreen frame supports. Thus, the armor glass edges were not visible, but the black metal framing was visible. A side note to this: the gunsight was a two-piece arrangement with the projector bolted to the cockpit floor between the pilots legs, and the projector screen was bolted with four bolts to the windscreen. It was found, that if the armor glass was mounted "square" with the windscreen, distracting gunsight reticle reflections would appear on the armor glass. Therefore, the armor glass was installed at an offset angle to the windscreen, eliminating the unwanted reflections. To alert the pilots to this offset, so that they would not line up the a/c with the ground/horizon/other a/c when flying, an angled white line of slightly sloping triangular form was painted along the bottom black metal armor glass frame, as a visual guide.

I have one to build as a homage to John Belusi in his role as Wild Bill Kelso in 1941.

Great work! Where did the seat belts come from ? Home made?

You show Tamiya xf-62 and xf-57 for the upper surfaces. Did you mix them? Or is the xf-57 for post-shading?
