Great build, Emre. A well deserved prize. I really agree with you nothing looks as great as a P-40 with a shark mouth! But with a close second place being a P-40 with a massive skull on the cowling
Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys!
I participated in a national competition this weekend with this model. It was in the first five, but the jury thought the Azure Blue was a bit too dark and my toning efforts made it even darker, so I couldn't get in the first three. Still, I am happy that my airplane building efforts are getting somewhere... (and my 1/72 Skyraider took first place in 1/72 propeller category, woo hoo!)

Congrats on your fantastic Warhawk, Emre. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures. The P-40 has always been one of my favs airplanes and Jesper is right, beside a sharkmouth a big skull looks stunning on a P-40. I can say that, as I have both in my collection .....
Happy modelling
