Yeah.. been eyeballing those Ziroli plans for some time now Always wanted to build his Mustang or Zero Stuka would be even better yet.. NO RETRACTS!!!
Vo,

I don't have the Mustang or Zero or even the Stuka plan set, but If you would like, I have a new in the tube set of Zirole plans for the P-40 that I will never build. I only do Golden Age planes any more (specificially, the WACO YMF). Sorry to hear that you feel that way about building, so here's the deal. If you would like to build this large P-40, the plans are yours free. let me know if you want to build this one, and send me your address, and I will ship them out to you. If you want them, I will also send you a set of the cut parts for the WACO in 1/5th scale. You can get the plans from the AMA plans service. The WACO Phoenix project is about complete, and this set of templates will ensure that this model will not meet the fate of so many others. The plans do not have any parts templates, so we set out to resurrect this old kit. We have quite a few modifications to enable the plane to be built using modern methods, and the plane should build quite a bit lighter if you do the mods. Let me hear from you.

Sorry I got grumpy there Bill... please accept my most sincere apologies.

I would love to build the P-40, but I'm probably looking at something that comprehensive next year. I wouldn't have the funds to do much with it this year.. maybe the tail surfaces, but that would be about all... but P-40's always have been another one of those beauties I'd like to build. Had a small Top Flite P-40 back in the day that flew beautiful. Wished at the time my dad and I had the retracts for it though. I figured that my next large project was going to be a pretty scale warbird, so that's why I was looking at the Ziroli plans Would even use that flite metal for covering a beast like that Always wanted to build a scale ship, and slowly peck away at the small details.
