After 30 hrs I was able to finish this model. Lots of fun painting the faded upper panels and finishing touches.

Gotta’ LOVE that!

Nice junction of the front windscreen to the fuselage and good 'n thin framework on the glass. Clean!

[#welcome] to the forums Gerry, nicely done bird! Don’t recall ever seeing a Tamiya P-40, are you sure it’s not the Hasegawa kit?

Welcome, nice job. I love the shading/weathering effects on the Olive drab.

Thumbs up, Gerry! Well done on the Warhawk!

Looking pretty good. [tup]

I agree with Frank, though. Tamiya?

Good weathering job, very authentic. And Im curious… did you actually count the hours?

Hi all, I really thank you all for your comments.

I also want to address two observations. Frank, you are right. This is a Hasegawa model. Sorry but I have been working lately on Tamiya models and that is why I made that mistake. I noticed that both Hasegawa and Tamiya are great manufacturers. Perhaps Tamiya instructions are little sketchy sometimes. I have an Eduard FW 190 waiting to polished my skills a litlte further because it has photoetch parts which I have never worked with. This kit has an outstanding set of instructions.

Also David, 30 hrs is of course and approximation but if you wnat me to get into numbers, all the 1/48 models I assembled in a mean time of 30 hrs, with a standard deviation of 1.2 hrs and a confidence interval of 95%. [8-]

Cheers and happy modeling[#toast]

Beautiful work Gerry

Great work- very nicely done on the weathering and fading. And 5,000 Ninja Bonus Points for a P-40 build! (You get 10K for a Spitfire… [;)])
