In this update from the Warhawk project, I walk you through some honest progress (and a few fixes) on my homebuilt 2/3 scale P-40 replica. This isn’t a factory floor—it’s real work in a real shop, and we’re making it happen one piece at a time.
Here’s what’s covered:
🛠️ Fuselage Skin Repairs – A few spots didn’t bond to the frame like I hoped, so I re-stapled and clamped them down for better pressure.
🦴 Wing Spar Finalization – Just finished covering the spar—big milestone in the wing structure!
🛞 Tail Wheel Planning – Talking through how it’ll function, steering, and how to keep it tough but simple.
🧰 Landing Gear Update – Component status, and upcoming welding plans
🧑🔧 Not a Pro Shop—Just a Passion Project
This is a garage-built Warhawk, with all the challenges and cool moments that come with it. I’m sharing the journey as it happens—warts and all.
✈️ Shoutouts to:
War Aircraft Replicas – The base design that started it all
Aircraft Spruce – Supplies, fasteners, and that ever-growing parts bill
Rotax – Possible future powerplant (still scheming that part)
