A bit of a mixed bag - some wonderful detail, but some issues with accuracy
This is the only P-40B available in 1/32, so if you want an early Tomahawk, this is it. The kit is well engineered, and the fit is terrific throughout.
Some of the detailing is inaccurate - the elevators are not accurate, the cockpit has a lot of detail pieces, but is way too shallow, I bought and after market resin cockpit to replace it. Some of the raised detail, like the access panel on the rear fuselage are too thick - if scaled up, they would be raised 3 inches in full size, not flush. The fabric detail on the control surfaces looks like ribbed metal, not fabric. For some reason the kit has both ailerons drooped downward, instead of in opposing directions as they would be in real life.
The best part of the kit cannot even be seen after completion - the Allison engine is really well detailed and includes all of the radiators, oil lines, fuel lines and coolant lines, but is not visible at all. The landing gear is detailed as well.
The only other complaint is that since Trumpeter is a mainland Chinese company, they are not allowed to sell kits with the Nationalist Chinese markings, so if you want to finish the kit as a Flying Tiger of the AVG, you have to look for after market decals.

Great for the hobbiest
With a 3 liter air tank, this compressor provides a steady airflow. It's reasonably quiet (I'm an apartment dweller, so this is important to me).
I can't speak to durability yet, but I'm a hobbyist that only uses it intermittently, and this compressor is cheaper than 5 cans of air brush propellant, and provides much better results. Even if it dies in a year, it's a value.

Much easier than using putty
This is a lacquer based primer / seam filler. It's applied like a thick paint, using a brush. I find it's much easer to use than putty for minor seams and minor fill jobs. It dries quickly, so you can build up layers quickly, and sands easily. They also make a Mr Surfacer 1000 and 1200 which are even thinner, and are used as an over all primer.
My first use of it was on the control surfaces of a Trumpeter P-40b, where the "fabric" detail just looked like ribbed metal - I filled the area between the ribs with 2 coats of Mr Surfacer, then sanded it down until smooth, with only a slight variation to indicate the fabric covering.
