P40F "Stud" - doable?
« on: August 31, 2004, 03:42:19 PM »


I understand some exceptions have been made for other skins.  F6F3 skins on our current Hellcat for example.  How much is HTC willing to "stretch" the skin exceptions before it gets too out of whack?  I finally got off my arse and am >< this close to finishing my template.

The difference between the P40E and the P40F is engine and that neat removal of the cowl intake.  Minor cosmetic differences and of course, performance.  E model uses an Allison V-1710-39 whereas the F model uses the Packard Merlin V-1650-1.

Bottom line, does this P40F Checkertail "Stud" have the green light?

Well, if you ever flew into a circus, it would blend right in.  I'd fly it.

Any extra photographs with relative high detail would help.  Finding historical information on this plane is fairly easy given the 'uniqueness' of the scheme.  

Thanks!
