should it be painted in historical RAF mid stone/dk earth/sky blue,

US colors (TBA),

or in Irish AF gray green, (like the B-25)?

In a very busy week I've managed a little time on my P-40b

Image

using as many walkarounds, drawings and archival photos as I can find,

I am adding a rivet plan that will enhance the old void,

and adding some other omitted details.

thx Spitz, it's actually dirty oil and a wee bit o'rust.

I think I'll make this a/c my oily test bed and have it leak a bit more later.

This template now has fairly accurate rivets, screws and hatches and lots of added details taken from construction plans, with more details on the way ...

an extensive remake and improvement of the old void.

I could work for weeks on this, but I have several requests "rusting" on the drawing board that need my attention.
