A Garbage Warhawk made with Garbage!! 

It is pretty cool.

Well thank you! I'm hoping to have some more stuff soon. Turns out that I don't actually have all that free time during summer break!

Oh that's interesting. . . I wonder, did the carburetors cause the Allison engine to stall like the Rolls Royce Merlin?

​@@professorbellbuildsThat is a really interesting question. A quick look at Wiki, seems to show early engines used float-type carburetors, they tried injection but it doesn't seem to have worked. Bendix pressure carburettors were used later, so I would guess this may have resolved any such issues, unfortunately no dates are mentioned in the text from my quick perusal.

@@marktuffield6519 I've never run across anything in my studies, so if I had to guess it would have been a rare occurrence if it was an issue. Then again, I've never done a deep examination of the operational use of the P-40. . . That might be a monumental task anyway given the P-40's ubiquity in the early war!

Thank you!

Thank you! It was a fun one to build! This Wednesday I'm planning to post a video about the Airfix P-40 which in my opinion is a much better model (even if I don't go about it as creatively)

I'm not sure I'd call it one of my favorites, but it certainly is one I happen to build a lot, and I suppose it is my favorite one to goof around with!

Thank you!

Thank you! It was fun to build. It's actually kinda nice when you're just goofing around so you can take risks and try stuff out without worrying about ruining the whole model.

well. . . as long as you both had fun! I think that's where these old Academy kits really come into their own. They're good enough, they're fairly sturdy, and they're simple. Perfect for a youngster who wants to build a neat toy.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Professor Bell, congratulations for a beautyful work. I love the P-40, but I love to much the idea of using junk parts, and making your own tools. I am a full time blacksmith and I made my own scrapers, and cutters in my forge, and another goodies as well to my beloved hobby. I love your amazing techniques and your excellent skills like "the old school of modelling", basic, simple, ingenious, very efective, and cheeper. It's so nice! The technique of the white vinegar it's new for me, and I will aply, in my next model, as well the wheel gear bays, are fantastic. ¡Thanks for this useful tip and for your illustrative, amazing and funny video! Today I suscribe to your amazing channel and I hope to follow your next video, and to learn useful and great techniques. ¡Máster Modeller Bell! ¡I Salute You! Greetings for you, from Guatemala, The Land of Quetzal Bird, Símbol of Freedom.

@@jayrohumbertoguzmanvalenci1351 Wow, Thank you! I guess I need to get busy on my next project. . .

Thank you! May I ask what you say in Portugal for a quick toast? I've noticed that most of the world says "cheers!" (Thanks Britain. . . ) but I like to be able to raise my glass appropriately when in international company.

@@professorbellbuilds Here in Portugal we say , fazer um brinde , than Tchim Tchim and Say to us ( à nossa ) in portuguese

@@mp-modelplastic Thank you! I hope to use that one day. I'm very fond of Portuguese wine!

Thanks for the tip! I take it the special hobby kits are of far better quality?

@@professorbellbuilds Very much so. The inexpensive Airfix P-40B is pretty good too.

@@thadrobinson8343 I built the airfix one, and the difference in quality to the academy kit is night and day! I was planning on purchasing the trumpeter kit too, so maybe I'll have to do the Special Hobby one also, and then I can compare them all against one another.

@@professorbellbuilds Be advised the excellent new SH kits are for later Allison-engined marks (P-40D thru -N), excluding the Merlin-powered P-40F and -L (SH also makes the Merlin P-40s but they are more primitive limited-run kits).

@@thadrobinson8343 Good to know, thank you!

thank you! I thought the Airfix flying tigers was out of production?

I've never built that one. Is it a newer kit?

@@professorbellbuilds no it's been around academy p40m/n it gives you options to build ether one it also has raised detailed panel the price of the kit is pretty good

@@Coyote9771 Interesting. I might have to check that out.

That bluetac technique is a good one. The one drawback is that it can leave some residue, but I think it's worth it and fairly easy to clean up.

@@professorbellbuilds I don't apply a lot of pressure when I lay the sausages on the model and it doesn't seem to leave residue or marks. Possibly some of the residue issues have to do with climate, hot, cold etc ?. Anyway we all use what works for us.

@@potrzebieneuman4702 climate could be it. I also wonder if I'm using very good quality stuff. I do tend to purchase the cheapest crap I can, so maybe there's a difference in quality.

@@professorbellbuilds heheh I do as well, you do what you have to do when you're on a pension.

I don't know what a "Goolie" is. . .

@@professorbellbuilds Ummmm........ imagine losing those parts of your body which most define your..... manhood! RAF aircrew policing the far flung corners of Empire in the inter-war period were issued with said chits in a variety of appropriate languages. Legend had it that the usual drill if captured by tribesmen of uncertain loyalty was for the captors to register their annoyance at being bombed/shot at by separating the prisoners from their most sensitive parts. A reward was offered for the return of intact personnel. (Actually, if I'd been bombed/shot at by the RAF I think I'd have been a bit peeved myself!!)

@@michaelevans205 Ah. I see. I'd probably carry a few spare goolie chits with me just in case.

Gracias! A mi me gusta vinos de Chile mucho, pero lo siento, mi Espanol es terrible! Necesito aprender mas!

Huh, that's cool! I didn't know they had an updated one. I guess I'm still living in the 80's!

Oh, I hate using toothpicks for painting! It never works for me. I get a lot of my fine brushes at Hobby Lobby in their fine paint department. I think that one was an 18/0 for acrylic detail. I think you can get really good fine brushes from game stores too for painting warhammer stuff. Let me know how the wore works for rigging. It might be good for slack lines, but for taught I'd still use black lycra.

Thanks, I've got a Hobby Lobby nearby, I'll see what I can find. @@professorbellbuilds

Thank you! I guess it's not necessarily bad, it's just that the airfix kit is so much better. The other thing is that I do like to see the interior, and it's nice to have the canopy open option without having to cut it in half!
