Possible MTO group build Revell P-40B 1/48

I have this in the start to finish section because I am not sure that I will find proper decals for my P-40. If I can't, it'll be a normal build if I can a Mod can move it to the group build folders? Here are pictures of the kits and decals the white lettering is K - H - R . If anyone has P-40B decals 1/48 send me a PM please!

Now these should be seen.

Harrison , when you resizing pictures with the Irfanview , please, set JPG file format before you save a picture.

Beauty Wojtek! thanks...

Not sure if I have P40B decals will have a look...you should only need codes the British national insignia should suffice.

I have told him the same. What is more the white letter "R" can be used when the right "leg" will be cut off. I cannot see the serial number but it can be adjust as well.If not this can be the only thing that Herrison needs.

Where do I go to set that? Sorry about that guys !

2 question for anyone, What color whats the cockpit of the P-40B seats, instrument panel etc

Also, I have this thing called Nothhapton or Northhampton (Not sure) Putty, it's like a liquid form, is that OK for sealing the fuselage together.

Wojtek the serial number is AH881

Click the icon of a diskette on the tool bar of the Irfanview program or choose the save ( save as) from menu "File" and in the requester for saving you will find it at the bottom of the window.Click the marked with the red arrow square. I know there are Polish captions in the pic but it should look the same but with English ones on your screen.Scroll the list down set the JPG

What's processing?

It says to paint the cockpit interior green? Does Olive Drab or something of that nature work as a substitute?

Processing...it was my joke, sorry But it is connected to data base program when it looks for something or set datas correctly.

Yest the whole interior of P-40 cockpit was painted with interior green.But I have found the Curtiss factory used its own colour. However I think it was the Interior Green but applied on a primer and the preservative coat of Yellow Zinc Chromate or Green Zinc Chromate.

Here these colours by ModelMaster.
