RAF P-40

 Another shot at Revell's 50+ year-old 1/32 P-40 kit. New decals. Handpainted w/ craftstore acrylics, topped with finger-applied pastels in assorted shades of brown & tan. As with the prior build of this kit, I thought the kit exhausts were too understated, and replaced them with bits of plastic straw. Left off the pitot tube, I would have broken it off sooner or later. Canopy framing made with strips of painted electrical tape.
