● Photos and sketches are placed before the step
they refer to. Frequently you can study photos in
following steps to get another view of the same parts.
● The Giant Scale P-40 ARF is factory-covered with
Top Flite ® MonoKote fi lm. Should repairs ever be
required, MonoKote can be patched with additional
MonoKote purchased separately. MonoKote is
packaged in six-foot rolls, but some hobby shops
also sell it by the foot. If only a small piece of
MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is
applied with a model airplane covering iron, but in
an emergency a regular iron could be used. A roll of
MonoKote includes full instructions for application.
Following are the colors used on this model and
order numbers for six foot rolls.
Flat Olive Drab TOPQ0510 Flat Dove Gray TOPQ0511
Flat Tan TOPQ0516 Missile Red TOPQ0201
Flat Black TOPQ0508
