Nice model.... but the canopy has a different shade of green. I think you have not weathered it along with the rest of the model.

 

Looking at the windshield and the fixed rear canopy, the outlines of the frames are not clear... there are some smudges. It's a pity... for the rest, it's a good work.

 

Bye Bye!

Enrico,

   Now that's one really nicely modeled P-40. Well done paint work, and your weathering just adds that something extra of a well maintained operational aircraft. But as mentioned the one issue I have is that  all the glass frames are a different, lighter shade of O.D. I'm assuming that you primed the model but maybe not the glass, and or didn't give it the same weathering as the rest of the aircraft. Not a big issue, but it noticeable to the viewer as it caught my eye early on in looking at your pictures.
