I did some cockpit work on the P-40. I went for a very worn look since these aircraft got a lot of use in a tough environment. I added the Eduard color PE belts as well and the instrument panel is done. I painted the dials with Vallejo Winter White and then drew in the dials with an .005 Micron Ink Pen.

I have a small update on the P-40. I want to make the exhausts more realistic so I drilled out the ports with a pin vise this afternoon.

Cockpit is looking the bee's knees. And drilling out those exhausts: it's those little details which make the difference between a well executed build and a great build. Nice!
