Last time I was looking for my favorite axe for my banana shaped AML P-40



I didn't find it - probably the girlfriend has it again

All I was left with, was my little saw



... and some frustration to vent

Ah, the pleasures of being human !



Back in the race



Granted, some sanding and filling was required



And I needed to fix all the collateral damage

The cuts in the wing and the drill head skid marks around the exhausts



But first I wanted to install the radiator

Which is a nice resin casting



And which needs to be cut at the correct place

... which is not in the middle (doh!!!)



But at its feet - very close to the casting block



I glued the pieces back together

With some peeking, you still can see the fine radiator mesh



It was a reasonable fit



... and this almost was !



I first covered the big gaps with pieces of plastic card and strips



And I did some dremeling



So I wouldn't have to sand too much



Then filler



And then I read about Robert Rensch (his build on Internet Modeller)

He bended the wings for more dihedral to close the gaps



Interesting approach - but too late for me now

Luckily I still had some dihedral, so we dully continued



After sanding, a first coat of primer followed

Looking for trouble spots



The basic shape was now more or less straight

But some areas still needed attention



Building the front end up, with little pieces of Evergreen plastic strip



Filler again

And I decided to fill all remaining fuselage panel lines too, since many were already lost



Glueing the front end of the wheel well bulges to the wings

They didn't extend to the upper wing : filler needed again



Adding some "belly" elements and the cowling flaps

All reasonable fits



The carburator air intake needed refining



A small piece of plastic rod did the job perfectly



The horizontal stabs were butt joined

Not an ideal fit - certainly not at the wing root front end



Filler again



I had bought some sanding sticks at the Dutch Nationals

They were quite useful now... and quick too... I should've used them sooner



Adding the gun houses



Another coat of primer followed, revealing a few problem spots to attend to



A final sanding session, using sanding paper 800 to 1200



Followed by a final (I hope) coat of primer



Things look better now



It was a lot of work - but much to my surprise I enjoyed it !

Mainly because I got a lot of "job" satisfaction out of it, making this model acceptable again - though it is certainly not perfect, I learned a lot of things can be done with plastic, filler and some time

Now some adventures with paint !

Thank you for your time people

That is such a nice save. I'm happy you didn't bin it - and not at all surprised that you enjoyed it! A challenge is more fun than a straightforward build - and better for developing skills.

Very well done!

William, I am in awe at the fix work you have done here. I think you are the fill and sand king!

Wow super work.

What a slick job! You are really flexing your modeling muscles. Nice to see you are winning with this one.

Certainly will be one to be VERY proud of!

Well done and what a great post.

This was a frightening series of photographs, much like surgery on a terrible accident victim. Seems to have turned out all right though.
