Good beginnings!
That's a nice little kit, and so is its 1/48 bigger brother. Airfix made quite a splash when they released it. I look forward to your next update!
Best regards,
Brad

Need to fix this issue

Need to fix this issue...

Sorry, what issue is that? Wing root and cowling seams are the only things I see, that could use some attention.

Simply cover my issues

Ah, I was wondering if this would turn out to be a Flying Tigers build. IIRC this kit comes with Chuck Older's plane, while the 48th scale version has Robert Smith's plane. I have a bunch of aftermarket decals to build a whole bunch of them. Speaking of which, I have four unfinished Academy 48th scale Flying Tigers P-40Cs I still need to do chalk weathering on to finish. They've been languishing in a box for years now. This Airfix kit sure is nice though. Great cockpit interior detail.

Robert Smith's plane

That makes me wonder how the flying helmet fit over his famously big hairdo …?

Looks good, I like the tarps you made

Maybe it's more like "17 Seconds" Robert Smith rather than "Disintegration" Robert Smith? I wouldn't want the guy who says "It doesn't matter if we all die" as my wingman!
