Peterpools Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Carl Very much appreciated and I'm starting to get the feeling the Molotow Chrome pens aren't the way to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Very nice P-40, Peter 👍 ! Although complex, this kit delivers a VERY convincing result in the hands of a proficient modeller like you. Congrats on a stunning result ! Hubert 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Thanks Huber for the compliments - very much appreciated. Just one work session at the bench to go and she will be across the line. Not an easy kit for sure - a bit over engineered and the instructions caused some frustrating issues but, in the end, a nice kit and well worth the effort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 This looks great, I'm so impressed I may build an AVG P40 to sit next to my Eagle Squadron Spitfire. Cheers Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Peter - Just Beautiful! What a great aircraft and subject and you did wonders with a terrific, but difficult kit. Shame about the radio hatch and not being able to see the detail inside but that Quinta placard on the door is excellent. And you are really a master with the MRP paints. I know, they go on so nicely, but as we've discussed, they only reward excellent prep which is your forte. There is just something about the AVG planes that really grabs the attention. Maybe the biggest complement is all the people here who are saying that maybe they want to try the kit now they have seen yours! FWIW, I have a full set of the Molotow Blackliners I'll send you to try out if you want. Check them out and send them back when you are done. .05, .1, .2 and .4mm. Black, not Chrome so not sure if you will find a use for them. I also have the 2mm Chrome pen and the 2mm Liquid masking marker but can't remember how I used them years ago - probably on the oleos. Must not have made a big impression? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks Phil, much appreciated. Just a few bits and pieces today and the P-40 will be crossing the finish line. In the end, she does look the part rather well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Dennis - now that's surely something and a terrific compliment for sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks Chris so very much appreciated. So happy my build might inspire others to build the same model - a wonderful compliment for sure. I'm a Quinta guy and while I haven't tried Red Fox or Look yet, just can't see how they could be any better - I'm just so pleased with the results I get. Going to take you up on the Molotow Pens in a while, especially the Black which seems to have a lot of possibilities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Thanks Gaz Very much appreciated. Most of the final bits have been added and I'm planning on putting the P-40 in the display case for a while so I can concentrate on my GB Kingfisher. Then I backtrack and finish her up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Splendid work Peter, your work reminds me about Wolf's stuff, ultra clean and highly detailed without overdone/trendy weathering. truly inspirational 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Martin, very much appreciated. I am very humbled, that my work reminds you of Wolfs'. I tried sending Wolf a PM a while back but he never replied and seems to have lost interest in modeling. Maybe someone has spoken with him to just see if all is well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Wolf has been through some rough times, dealing wth some serious health issues. He's getting better now. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Martin Thank you for the update on Wolf. I know there were health issues with his wife Bonnie and she was recovering nicely. I had no idea that Wolf also had serious health issues and so glad he is recovering. I didn't know Wolf had health issues as well. When you talk with him, please say hello for me. Maybe when he is up to it, he can stop by and just say hello to the gang. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
