Scale Top Flite P-40 Build Thread

[Charles R]

Holy cow that thing is simply beautiful. Makes me want to get back into warbirds again. My very first fighter was a Top Flite P-40 Red Box. I built and flew it in '94. I sure miss that plane. Awesome job...really love it.

Thanks It has been a labor of love and my first kit build since the late 50's when I flew control line stunt.

I hooked up the servos and the flaps and the plane is now finished, YEA

Can't wait for some flight line photos!

Looking good! Be sure and take the time to check all the important stuff, CG, control throws, all the stuff that can bite you on a test flight

I know still have to work on some of the controls and install fuel tanks and ck CG plus check servo throws. I also have to put the final fuel proof clear coat on.

Well done and looking nice. I'm back on my build. Mounted the wings this morning.
