Nice quiet morning for some modeling so I worked on the chin scoop assembly for the P-40. I then installed it in the fuselage along with the cockpit tub. The fuselage was then glued together and I dropped in the back deck behind the tub.

No real pitfalls with the kit. Just some flash here and here but still looks like a P-40.
