The fact that the rondels turned out less than perfect actually made this build truly more realistic. The guys would hand paint them anyways so this method using the circuit and the masking looks so much more authentic.

As to the Gun Barrels you opened, what is shown is an outer barrel shroud for the M-3, .50-Caliber machine-gun. What I do is open the hole as you did, paint the shroud gun-metal gray then insert a silver tube to emulate the guns barrel which were chromed.

I absolutely adore the P-40. I know it wasn't the "best" by any stretch of the imagination, but it has that iconic look of a true fighter. All iterations of her, and you made an absolute banger of a replica. Kudos, this earned a sub from me. at this time of 01SEP2023, I'm finishing my Revell 1:48 of a P-40B Tigershark in the "Flying Tigers" scheme. Scale modelling is one of those arts that seems to be in the woodwork, but once you find those who do it, it's hard to keep your jaw off the floor, and everyone else's work only gives inspiration. And we seem to all be encouraging to the ones dabbling in starting their own journey!

The cockpit needs serious correction. As Brett Green said "The cockpit is really poor. I find it astonishing that Trumpeter has once again repeated their error of a flat cockpit floor, while the real floor was the curved top profile of the upper wing. The flat floor compounds errors, resulting in sidewalls, the pilot’s seat and the rear bulkhead all noticeably lacking in height.".

[@rengarcia5189]

Great vid!! The P40 is often viewed as a pre-war obsolete design and was outclassed by later pursuit designs. This was hardly the case. With its huge wing and tail surfaces, along with light wing loading, the P40 was the most maneuverable American design throughout the war. It was rugged, had no vices and was unmatched in a dive--only the giant P47 was close. When it was in design, high-altitude interdiction was not included, therefore it did not have proper turbo supercharging for high altitude work. Saburo Sakai himself said the only American aircraft he feared, when properly handled by the pilot, was the P40.

Great video! And, ok, I admit I'm OC and anal retentive about certain things. My only problem with this build are the stenciled roundrels. At this scale, any asymmetry, bleed under, wrinkled masks, etc. just jump off the model at me. As with the formation light fix (great recovery, btw), I think i would have used aftermarket decals for the roundrels and lettering as much as possible. Less expensive than a Cricket. Yeah, I'm a cheapskate, too. My father called it being frugal. But, the video was jammed full of great techniques, especially for handling photo etch, cloth seatbelts, and weathering. I've subscribed so I can see more of this builder's skill. Thanks! Let the criticism of my comments begin!
