Wow, that's very impressive, especially for a three month build time. I have a hard time finishing a 1/48 scale version in that amount of time. I hope to see more of it when it is all finished up.

Remarkable!

The propeller blur in the last pic was a complete surprise.

Thanks for the link.

Nice job and in only 3 months? She looks great.

A bit rough in spots, but definitely an incredible job! I've seen museum "restorations" that didn't look nearly as good. Obviously it's a non-flying piece, but I wonder what they're using to spin the prop.

I would REALLY like to see more than just this small article and pics... I'd love to see interior and exterior closeups and in-progress shots. This is a remarkable effort, and at first blush looks really good; such work could be rather inspirational for other museums with small budgets but grand plans.

Thanks for sharing this!

Wonder if he has any real P-40 parts mixed in there?
(Obviously not the wheels...)

I think most of here would like to see better detail shots. Great job from what I could see!

Man, you so gotta like the name of that museum! I wish we could re-name the Pearl Harbor museum to something like that!

Three years I could believe. I don't think you could get all the plans drawn up in three months.

That's a brilliant job, regardless of how long it took. Certainly looks like a P-40C to me! That must be awesome to have in your workshop.
