Hi my friend @lis!
Supporting our friend's @gblair comments, I am aware that most P-40Bs were initially delivered with polished metal props, but had quickly their backs painted black, in order to be less reflective. Gradually they became all-black. So, an all-black prop for your model is probably correct.

After weathering. Oil Wash Modeler's World, Tamiya Master Set, dry pastels (smokes from barrels and exhaust). Also I made position lamps. Model is drying and waiting for final clear coat.

Nearly there, Lis @lis
Looking great already.

@gblair @pb_legend @tcinla @lgardner @johnb @fiveten @luftwaffe-birdman Work is complete. I made radio wire, viefinder on engine cowling, and armoured glass in front part of canopy. I hope you like my work. Article on hedlines soon 🙂 I go to sleep 🙂

I fully echo our friend's @lgardner comment, my friend @lis!
Congratulations!

@lgardner @fiveten @johnb Thank You! I'm glad that you like my work! The construction was really nice and the number of problematic situations during assembly was surprisingly small. There were problems with the fairing at the very end. I wanted it to be open, because this was theoretically possible provided by the manufacturer in the manual. Unfortunately, it was technically impossible. But I will write more about it. This time I am really happy with the painting. I seem to have avoided any significant obvious mistakes. I am thinking about another model. I thought yesterday that it would be a P-40 from Darwin, but it turned out that a friend is selling a rare P-40 kit from Africa at a good price (it would be a chance to visit the desert war group 😉 ), which I also dreamed of and I don't know what to start now 🙂 I also dream of an on-board fighter, a few recently appeared on the news and made a big impression on me with their sea-color camouflage paint job. I have in store Wildcat from the second Battle of the Philippine Sea, which was the largest naval battle in history and the last to face battleships ... What do you think? 🙂

Thanks for inviting me to this group. My build schedule for the next several months includes a Testor's/Fugimi 1:24 1987 Toyota Supra (given to me by a friend 30 years ago for being a groomsman in his wedding and left unfinished since then) and a Special Hobby 1:32 Westland Whirlwind. Unfortunately neither one of them was present at Pearl Harbor on that fateful day. If I were to have a build, I would probably go for a PBY Catalina, though I'm not sure if there is a kit on the market worthy of the subject. I will be following this group with great interest.
