Christos,
Just an extraordinary build of the Trumpeter 1/32 P-40B Tomahawk. Your engine really has brought this older kit up to today's Tamiya's standards. As for your upgrading the cockpit interior, I would have really loved to see detailed pictures of exactly what it looks like especially after you've done your exceptional detailing, painting, and weathering.

Talk about making a silk purse out of a sows ear!! I don't like this kit for a lot of reasons but you have managed to make it into a masterful build. Great job and thank you for sharing. Take care. Jim

Christos, extraordinary work with the best looking of the P-40 airframes! Your model is top-notch. I have the old Meteor P-40 cockpit so I am inspired to start mine. Thanks for this model.
