P-40 on carrier

[NormSon]

Looking at the photos, they look like round exhausts and long tails to me.

These would be "F"s (or "L"s), with Merlins. Probably on their way to the Med, in brown and tan camo. I belive that there is a conversion available from Grey Matter in the UK.

Thanks Norm. http://www.greymatterfigures.com/index.php?p=2&id=88

Do those photo show fishtail exhausts?

Also what about the extended tail, is it needed?

I would guess they are on the carrier for transport to a combat zone. On the bottom picture you can see the demarcation lines of the camo so I would guess this picture is off the coast of North Africa or the Med somewhere. Very nice photos Ryan.

Awesome pics on the thread you posted. I was surprised how beat and oily the undersides of aircraft got. Almost like armor. Never thought of a carrier as such a delivery vehicle to so many theaters.

Saw this thread on Hyperscale.

What type of P-40s are this and can they made from the Haseagawa 1/32 P-40? Do they have the same paint scheme and what is that scheme?

TIA,
Ryan
