I inherited a Brodak P-40 kit from Phil Spillman for free a few months ago. I had Kit bashed a Brodak Zero into a P-39 several years ago and flew it for years after it finally meet its end. I always wanted to build another one . This is my chance I decided to do the same modifications I did for the original kit bash add a 1/8 inch between the wing ribs. didn’t need to do that. I had to buy all new planking that was expensive. The P-40 is big enough as is. Now I have 610 sq. in. wing and had to make the stab larger. I slid the top half of the fuselage forward enough to draw the forward canopy of the 39. I then dropped the engine a half inch because I had raised my wing half inch in my sock p-40. I chose a XP-39 because that is the only silver one I could find it had side intakes for the supercharger. then later there were YP-39 with guns the army used for testing. This is the one I used, note my cannon in the spinner I’ll add the air scoop later
