Well since it's Valentine's Day what would be more appropriate than an I Love P-40s Group Build? Here's the rules:
1. The GB runs from now until Aug 14th, completed builds may be posted anytime until the deadline.
2. Any P-40, any scale, any variant is eligible to be used as the basis for your project.
3. Scratchbuilding and kitbashing are encouraged.
4. Incomplete, in-progress projects started prior to Feb. 14th ARE eligible.
5. There is no Rule #5.
6. The top three finished models will be chosen by votes cast from forum members. The top three winners will receive prizes. The top prize will be an as yet un-named P-40 kit (of course). Voting will begin Aug 15th with the winners announced on Aug. 22nd.
7. Have fun!

Can we please put multiple entries in? :)
But of course! The more the merrier!
A Vampire/Crossdressing P-40, now that's something I've got to see!

May i enter with a danish P-40? and a Luftwaffe P-40? and a finnish P-40?
Sounds wonderful :wub:

Yes, yes and...yes!

Hitting the hobby shop today...a weird p-40 is just what the doctor ordered.
Okay, one quick question which, if answered in my favour, would save me $22:
Can you enter repainted, slightly modified builds? I.e., an Airfix P-40E completed as an RAAF example, but all marks then sanded off, wings clipped etc and painted to be a Kittiwake.
???
Yours in desperate anticipation,
Zac
(P-40 Freak...well, you would be too if you had ten of the delightful darlings!)
But of course you can, Zac! The rules state any "in-progess or partially completed" builds are eligible. I also think modifying any previously built P-40 should qualify as well.
I can't wait to see what you've done! These will be entries 67 & 68 from you, right? ;)
Zac, you are indeed the Anthony of the I Love P-40s! GB!
Yours in moderation,
Brian da Basher
where and how do i vote?
Voting will begin Wednesday, August 15th and winners will be announced a week later. You can vote by sending me a PM with your top three choices. I think deciding which builds are the top three will be tough given the quality of the submissions!

Bri, can I respectfully ask for an extension, say a week? I ask because I may have been close to finishing today or tomorrow (if not quite, I'd have posted with decals on but without any extra finishing) but I had a minor painting disaster. I got one of the coats on, but it just didn't seem take to the surface very well, seems like I got some grease on the model or something. I've had to sand down the model to the base coat & give it a good a wash, I'll see how it goes. It means it'll take a few more days at least before I'm finished, but I promise, I'll break my back to get it done!
Groveling over!!! :unsure:
Moving the build to the Knackers Yard, but not closing it yet.
Again, great build, everyone!
