War
in the Pacific. Nice model, but it has a few factory scuffs
and nicks that detract from an otherwise exciting color scheme. Someone
apparently used the painted radiator housing to crack walnuts, which
gouged out two spots on the plane's lower lip. Also, there are long
scratches over the surface of the paint on the fuselage and wings.
I'll never know why manufacturers go to all the work to apply these
nice paint schemes, then let the assemblers make a hash of it. One
wonders...
If you are into P-40's, then this is well worth picking up. Not ALL
of them could have been used to prepare a mid-morning snack!
