Im sure its a total butchery of history. I wondered for a long time how they make Cruise look bigger then his 5'2" size and then I remembered the Hulk series...  :rofl


He'll be sitting on a pile of phone books in the cockpit :rofl

Ok, no one at the studio knows nuthin bout these aircraft. All i can find out is that they are real, in bad dis-repair and were in a few pics but people at the studio that im in contact with have no idea which pics it may have been. The aircraft are also used as part of the (MGM) studio tour (I aint got time for no tour! ) other than that, they just looked cool to me! And for some reason the glass is blacked out....go figure?

and thank you tom cruise, i hate your movies :)

I must say the P-40 was a cool looking airplane. In the right hands they were a serious threat to the enemy.

In the MA, good luck dodging 17 LA's and 14 Spit16's that have P-40 radar.  But if I get a 1v1, I enjoy flying it and fighting against it.

I'm not sure who pic #2 is or why he's standing that way with his thumb pointing toward his peck...er shorts looking seriously constipated.

That plane almost looks like it could be made outta some type of cloth or mesh or something. ( with a few exceptions)

But the bulk of it looks that way to me.

The way the paint and canopy looks , it looks like dusty old cloth.

Like a small gust of wind could knock it over.

I still would love to have it. Nice work.



Just sayin,

Tommy Cruise.

That plane could be seen on the Back Lot tour at Disney's MGM studio. I saw it several times.

It isn't real, but a very good mock-up that was used during the filming of  "Pearl Harbor".
