Your great at modeling I'm 85 years old and restarting again. Also, I have Prostrate cancer. But I'm not let that stop me. Don't misunderstand me I'm not feeling sorry for myself I've lived a long time and I'm still going along for a while yet! Like you're modeling very much inspirational get the juices flowing love watching God bless your master model in my opinion
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.
Glad to see some one actually do the props from a sandy, desert theatre correctly. The spinning props are basically sand blasted along the leading edge! 3 thumbs up!!
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.
Wow! After 47 years I thought I might try and do a model. Having seen this incredible amount of work I think I will just subscribe, watch and enjoy. Amazing, truly amazing. 🇦🇺👍🍺🍺
I think I might try my daughter’s cricket after watching this video for letters & numbers. But the circles don’t seem very good. I think decals look better than your circular roundels. And a lot easier! Thanks. I learn so much from you.
This may not be the video to watch when seeing if I want to start building WW2 model planes to hang from my ceiling in a mock air battle 😂😂 And I mean that as a complete compliment you are very god at this and it looks hard. My dad always told me m very god with a hammer and not so much with a screwdriver 😂😂
Super job! If I could give a tip; if you take a sharpie marker (black) lightly coat the edge of transparencies. It will knock down any reflections and mimic the sealant used.
Man, I'm not really an aircraft modeler but man your work is absolutely amazing. It makes me want to get a few aircraft and give it a go. Being a warship modeler I think I have a good chance to accomplish something that is decent. Your work is stunning. Thank you for sharing and giving some inspiration.
I like the simple way you explain your procedures and decisions. The camera work is excellent, some of the best on these modelling channels. Keep it up! Thank you from Malta.
Amazing job, excellent focus on details and lots of tips throughout. This is in my stash so I've picked up quite a few ideas from this build which I will certainly incorporate into mine, so thanks for that.
You came up in my feed a week or two ago and I quickly subbed, you've got great content, skills and present information well. Plus the length of your videos is about perfect for me. Keep up the great work!
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.".
Showing some love for the South Africans nice. I always admire when guys paint the markings I’m too lazy I just use the decals nice subject and build thanks
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!
Thanks for another great video,you are an expert.I have been planning to get this kit with a few upgrades and now i know what to get.I love your accent.it reminds me of the actor Michael Caine..Greetings from Norway.
Very good build overall. When the heat-scorched exhaust pipes were painted, I got a little bit of tears in my eyes. You are clothing plastic in reality, sir.
Just found you channel, great production and excellent work! Got a wild hair one day about 6 months ago reminiscing about my models I built as a kid. After a 40 year break, I’ve jumped back in pretty hardcore! On my 4th build, and first multi engine, a 1/72 B17.
That's the right seat pan, the only thing missing is the leather seat cushion. My grandfather flew one in WWII in the early 40s for the USAAF, I have pictures of his plane and the cockpit that he took while over seas.
Brilliant video my friend, I've just got back into modeling the last time I built a model I was 14yrs old I'm retired now and I'm 55 yrs old but I've bought 3 kits to get me started with photo etch , HMS Belfast 1/600 , Bristol Beaufort 1/72 and the Boulton Paul Defiant also 1/72 I've just purchased this evening Tamiya HMS King George V so I'm looking forward to getting that one 1/350 scale
One of the most iconic warbirds of the Desert War period in W.W. 2. All your references have paid very heavy dividend's in making this Curtis War Hawk really shine as it obviously does. Thanks for sharing.
working my way through your channel and you do amazing work. The commentary is also very helpful instead of the captions. Love to see you do a tamiya 1/32 plane with all the extras. Cheers Stu
What a nice job. The detailing is awesome. This is the 3rd videos I've watched of yours...again, great job! Thank you for posting and waiting on your next build! Going to watch your other past videos. I've enjoyed them.
Thanks once again Andy for such a phenomenal build. I subscribed today and left a comment on a very early build of yours suggesting you do a commentary. It dawned on me later that you had only started your channel. Sorry my friend. I’ve learned much from your video once again, particularly with your commentary. 😃 What really inspires me above all the other channels I’ve watched thus far, is how you weather the various parts of your plane as you go. That’s very different to most other builders of planes and tanks for that matter. I like the way you weather as you go along. It’s very inspiring and makes sense. It’s been 40 years since I first modelled. So am enjoying my teenage years once again. Thanks Andy for your inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your skills. You are very talented and explain the painting effects really well, I wish that I could develop your skill level. Would you consider explaining how you developed your skill and experience please.
Beautiful work!!! And your paint work really brings the kit to life. I have been building model kits sence i was a kid and I still finding it amazing the outstanding work some modeler do. You just got another subscriber.
That’s some fine work on that hawk. For future, consider using micro kristal clear for window pieces. Goes on like white glue, dries clear, won’t fog the windows. Good for adding glass to the instrument panel gauges, too.

Bro what, are you even alive still
3:51 I love how you Brits across the pond say “Al-U-Minium”. You guys make anything sound a bit more classy! 👌 🫖 🇬🇧
Another great pronunciation is “schedule”. Shed-dule, or something like that. We are used to hearing sked-ule.
@@asdf9890 Yes, quite. Quite so, old boy.
As a brit, its quite funny seeing people comment stuff like this, innit mate?

Yes. Ill make sure i bring plenty of bottol'o'wa'ers too guvnor

I don’t really think the desert is as sandy and dusty as people make it out to be.
I think you should look at some wartime photos... Instead of what your perception of something maybe
She a looker that one, would definitely get centre stage on my shelf. Done an excellent job. Thanks for sharing
I've always been a P-40 fan. This is great work THanks!
yes, it is a great plane
This is the finest model video I have ever seen. I am a many blue-ribbon modeler in trains. Thank you so much for this oasis from a crazy world.

Hi, good call! I will look at doing that next time round! Many thanks. Andy.
@@ScaleModelShed cool beans, great job on the model.
Мене більше вражає як точно підібрані кольори,супер майстер з великої літери ,дуже приємно дивитись на зборку моделі 1-32.🥇
I am still admiring your airbrushing techniques, add to that the detailing and weathering. Excellent work!
Thank you.
Your talent and techniques brought that most iconic warplane of its era to life...from the inventory of a hobby shop to a museum piece. Bravo!

Great to catch up with you today, thanks for the advice on how to do exhaust pipes on piston engines, the video is a wonderful reference.
well done indeed... one of my favorite WWII Aircraft as well as the theatre of the war it helped to win and turn the tide of WW II
As a most beloved Uncle of mine is fond of saying,
That's a Beautiful Thing^^
Sorry, I am only shipping to the UK at the moment. Andy

Hi Scale Hanger 182. Thank you and thanks for watching.
Just as your previous builds, the result is phenomenal ! Probably one of the best p40 builds I've seen. Keep up the great work, cheers👍
Amazing job, excellent focus on details and lots of tips throughout. This is in my stash so I've picked up quite a few ideas from this build which I will certainly incorporate into mine, so thanks for that.

Hi Steven, thank you for the sub. Im glad the video length is good for you. Its always a difficult one, it could go on forever!

Thank you so much for giving the SAAF a mention with this one. Great build.
I think that was one of the best cockpits I've ever seen.
Thank you David.
Details inside of details. Beautiful art.
Absolutely beautiful model. Love your work. What i inspire to be one day.
Showing some love for the South Africans nice. I always admire when guys paint the markings I’m too lazy I just use the decals nice subject and build thanks
It is time consuming! Thanks for watching.

Awesome job, people often criticise Trumpy and their 32nd P40s, I think this video shows how good they can be.
Thank you.

Very good build overall. When the heat-scorched exhaust pipes were painted, I got a little bit of tears in my eyes. You are clothing plastic in reality, sir.
Thank you.
1/32 my favorite scale !!!
Yes good scale, however, what if you had a 1:32nd scale Boeing 747 for instance. Were on earth would you put it!!!
hands down, the very best Desert Air Force paint job i've seen ...nicely done.
Thank you Mark.
Scale Model shed your utube videos are awesome my friend
The detail is incredible. I'm just getting back into modeling and trying to learn, your techniques offer a lot of insight.
Gorgeous ! I want to make a spit or hurri with this paint job.
Very interesting to see how you do your weathering and chipping without hairspray...Thanks for the vid...very nice!
Another great build, these finished kits look like you could hop in them and fly them away. Excellent work as always! Subscribed!
Thank you!
Absolutely fabulous job on this model, truly inspirational for us ordinary guys.

That's the right seat pan, the only thing missing is the leather seat cushion. My grandfather flew one in WWII in the early 40s for the USAAF, I have pictures of his plane and the cockpit that he took while over seas.
I believe the parachute becomes the seat cushion. The ground crew may have thrown one in for their use.

Stunning.
My dad was on P-40s in North Africa. Well done on the build. You pretty much aced all the techniques needed to present a very realistic model.
Thank you.
Your painting scheme is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing, cheers!
Thank you.
formidable model , very realistic, congratulations, difficult to do better.bravo
I really like your use of "dust", it unified the model to have a more realistic appearance.
Nicely done
Thank you, thanks for watching.
Your level of attention to detail is incredible to me. Great work!
Excellent build! I have always been fond of the P-40 even though it always seemed to be under appreciated.
Hi, I built the P-40N kit by Trumpeter , the canopy was a poor fit, the rest was good though, nice job!
Master skill checked by the only one place - painting yellow OVER white
The paint job is flawless. It really looks like it was painted metal and not plastic. Unbelieveable.
That was a superb build, and the weathering was perfect, welldone and nothing like a large scale kit to work on.
Thank you
I like how you include your mistakes and how you fix them. It's really refreshing. I use gloss clear acrylic to affix clear parts give it a try
Thanks Brian, will do!
Super model 2023👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀🥇🥂❄️❄️🇺🇦
