I like that camo scheme. I don't recall seeing that before.

Interesting camo scheme, Giuseppe and one that is new to me too. The P-40 and shark's teeth, however, were made for each other :grin:

I really like the tone differences on the panels and control surfaces. Wonderful paint work.

I always like a good shark mouth. And P40's are made for that.
I know I have some in the stash. Seeing that scheme actually brought me an idea.
Keep up the good work :)

Also the P-40 M is finished, not my best, some trouble with the aftermarket decals, thick and not collaborative with Mr. Softer.

Very nice paint work Giuseppe! Subtle tone variation on the panels and panel lines.
Not meaning to divert the topic here but how did you insert that I'm bored Home pic into your comment earlier? Lovely! Had me rolling.

The decals are too thick, I would have done better to paint hinomaru, but usually when it comes laziness .... however I was punished, but I remedied, in the end I would have done faster painting ....
I know, it was a prototype and it would not have time to shrink, but I wanted to see if I could, so since I was a prototype for me, I took the opportunity ;-)
