The interior painting is impressive, but that natural metal finish you've done is something else! 👍

Fantastic looking bird! 👍

wow!! beautiful bird

SWEET!!

Patrick Hagelstein
Wow! I really love the subtle weathering on this one. My brother just sent me the trailer for the new Amazon series 'De Oost' (The East, a series about Indonesia gaining it's independence from the Netherlands right after WWII), right in time to watch after seeing this beauty here. 😉

Kees Kleijwegt
Thanks you for you positive feedback mates, much appreciated! 👍
Just working on the final bits and then she's finished.

@Patrick: Actually this aircraft is not from just after, but during WWII. Although the Netherlands and Dutch East Indies surrendered, the RNEIAF kept fighting. This aircraft was from the unit commander during 1944/1945

Robert Podkoński
Simply awesome!

Eelco Gregoire
Geweldig Kees

Patrick Hagelstein
Good to know Kees! I have a Special Hobby P-40N sitting in my stash waiting to be built and the decal options have decals for it fighting during WWII and immediately after and I prefer to build it as a testimonial to the liberation rather than otherwise...

Daniel Klink
That dirty metal effect is amazing and perfectly done Kees and fits the P-40 very well👍

Treehugger
Really nice seeing somebody using an aftermarket vacuum canopy.
Q: Are you happy with the result? Presumably it looks a lot better than thicker plastic. I have a few such vacuum canopies in store for various kits, but haven't yet fiddled with any of them.

Björn Svedberg
That is a really beautiful plane! 👍 Great job!

Hanno Kleinecke
😮 😮 😮 Beautiful bird in very realistic looking metal finish, excellent work !

Jan Peters
Prachtig werk! Great job!

Christoph Schnarr
A Warhawk always rocks, simply beautiful 👍

Marek Nagy
Well done! Your models are at a high level.

Kees Kleijwegt
Thank you Robert, Eelco, Patrick, Daniel, Treehugger, Björn, Hanno, Jan, Christoph and Marek.
Your positive comments humbles me 👍

@Treehugger: For this model I only replaced the sliding part of the canopy with a vacuum part. But in general they are quite easy to use and they can be a great improvement

Jos Jansen
Absolutely a beauty Kees, just what I said earlier...you did it again!

Erik Leijdens
A real masterpiece Kees! This must be the most beautiful P-40 model I have EVER seen. The more than perfect build, the scratch build bomb racks, the eye for tiny details, your NMF finish and the weathering...it's just phenomenal Kees! I'll take my hat off for you mate...!

Sebastian Meyner
Simply beautiful Kees 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Yes, I'll be dreaming my NMF even come close to this.

Neuling
A masterpiece. Absolutely convincing paint work.

Kees Kleijwegt
Thank you Jos, Erik, Sebastian, Nathan and Neuling! 👍
As I already mentioned above, to receive such positive feedback from great modelers like you really makes me feel humble and is a great inspiration..
Thanks again! 🙂

James C
That's a stunning looking result Kees, and one of... if not, THE best metal finishes that I've ever seen. Congrats mate 👍👍👍

Eelco Gregoire
Really a great job mate!

Rui S
I like it. Very well done 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
One can almost imaginary run one's finger over the skin and feel the oily and grimy residue, that realistic... 👍

Kees Kleijwegt
Thanks James, Eelco, Rui S and Patrick!
Much appreciated??

Jim J
