will probly do a few little things to it to make it look a little better like bigger wheels and retract in the rear but that's about it. I will open up the bottom wing to see how much room I have for larger wheels. The ones included with the kit are 4". They do not leave much room in the wing so might be a challenge finding the right wheel to fit. These ones are 5" next to the 4" that came with the kit..they are horrible.
Something must be done
Might just have to go with a 4-1/2". Should still look better with the least amount of work.

I just picked one up.
I just lucked onto one of these, ready to fly. Never had gas in the tank and of course never been flown. I couldn't pass it up at the price. I paid just slightly more than the kit cost and it's equipped with a DLE 35cc, etc. BUT! I hate the color scheme. Good grief phoenix! There are so many Good schemes for the p-40 but the one you put on it is NOT good! I am tempted to paint it but then I would have to spring for a complete new set of decals. Oh well. I'll probably just fly it.
