My First Model

Today, I saw a 1:72 P-40B Tomahawk at Hobby Lobby for $7.49

There's the box. It's sideways...but that's what it looks like.

I bought it, a little bottle of US Army Dark Green Paint and some paintbrushes.

I'll put pictures up when I have something to show. All I've done so far is put the pilot into his seat and sit it to dry. I'm popping the pieces out with nailclippers since I don't have an X-acto knife. This is an Academy Models kit. The only complaint I have is that the plane did not come with USAAF markings. It came with markings for like the Chinese Air Force or something weird. It's a model that's manufactured in Korea....so...we'll see about the Markings.

I'm really really excited.

Thank you Steve and Nikimcbee for introducing me to modeling.

I shall do my best.
