FYI: Bruce Campbell is one of my fav B-list actors!

Also, I'm not saying we have coral camo P-40Es in game. I'm saying they had them in WW2. No bubble to bust on that one. It was a color they used in limited numbers and in specific roles sometimes, but they used it. Not to mention you showed pics of P-40Ns, not Es.
I think I have E's as well :P

That's beside the point. Showing the presence of sand-colored P-40Es doesn't negate the presence of coral-colored P-40Es. One was definitely more common than the other, to be sure. Doesn't mean one precludes the other, or vice versa. You miss my point.

Lyric PM'd me some suggestions for this scheme which led me to make some changes to it. The outer struts in the photo appear to be a lighter colour, so I've made them yellow and the area around the serial number appears to be a heraldic scroll rather than just a gap in the yellow, like I had it before. Also I have changed the stripes to black as in the photo they appear to be a shade darker than the red in the centre of the roundel. I prefer them in black anyway, and the wasp idea makes sense to me.

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Sid kindly PM'd me this new info on this scheme and I've redone the skin to match. The stripes are now green and light grey, while the cowling is a mid grey rather than blue. I made my stripes a bit darker than the profile, as that seemed to match the photos better. I've redone the roses as well.

Its a lot less colourful now, but it seems a more likely this scheme would have been allowed at the front line than the red and yellow or black and yellow schemes.
