I'm pretty sure it's a 40 B but I was wondering if anybody could identify it by the markings / tail number or even if they're authentic. 

No catches involved

That's no real P40 that's for sure :)

Looks like one of those terrible efforts used in the old John Wayne "Flying Tiger's movie

The markings are an attempt at AVG markings.

Looks like it would fit in a one car garage.  Pretty cool though.

It looks like it was hammered together in a single afternoon. I bet it's nothing more than scrap metal over a very simple frame.

There's no way it'd fool most folks.

Assuming that is a 3'x5' window the length of the plane in the phote is around 15'. A P-40B is just under 32' in length making this a 1/2 scale model.

Well if look at the fuselage there is a Flying Tiger ensigna, as far as tail number I do not know.

That's a "War" P-40. Homebuilt job. I think they have a few other ones you can build. That one is undergoing static roof-fail testing.

It's not Fluffy's plane even though it's missing a prop and landed on top of a house. 

Fluffy's planes always have bullet holes.
