The p40, need I say more?

Now for a little game, what's wrong with this image! :D (scroll for answer)




















A:Left wheel is giving smoke when right wheel is the one still down!

Well, from the angle of the picture it looks as if the left wheel bounced generating the smoke. However, I do agree. The P40 needs some looking after.

RE: What's wrong with this picture....

You get the same tire smoke/dust from a gear that is not there also. 

Gear shot off?  It still show as it is there, invisible, leaving a "track", until the major appendage it used to be attached to on the plane finally makes contact with the ground.

Bug.

well the P40 is a late addition to AH, and the model doesn't look as bad as certain planes IMO

Nope, it wasn't a bounce, I'd send you the film mate, but it's ungodly long. I was trying to see how quickly I could get her airborne, so I set the stick full right, so once it had enough airspeed, it would just sit on the right wheel.

Oh, okay.

It looked that way to me since I've encountered the bounce plenty of times.
