| I think I built a 1/48 plastic kit of that one - from Eduard maybe - all white with a sharkmouth and all other insignia in black.. I'll check with the library on the title you mention. It's well known that the Flying Tigers plagiarized the mark from a UK squadron. Saw it, liked it, copied it..hell it looks the best on a P40...who wouldn't want it on there? |

| Find yourself a copy of the ARCO-AIRCAM Aviation Series #21 "SHARKMOUTH 1916-1945". It's fascinating! The P-40 is what you think of when you think sharkmouth but it started with the Roland Walfisch. |

| I like this one a lot too...but of course - I don't need to model a real world paint scheme. I could just do a generic US P-40N |

| I think this is what it will be...I'm still trying to decide really. Guillow is providing an -N- model P-40 and with the 'birdcage' canopy. This puts it into a fairly wide variety of options for the modeler. I really like the standard shark mouth look, but it's been done so often. This one, Flown by Claire Chennault's son John in the Aleutians has a lot going for it, but I can't make up my mind. Coin toss? |

| I've ordered the drop tank and pilot figure from parkflyerplastics.com and will contact Josh @ Bedlam to see about that nose art.
