Guppy, the 3x loadout looks to me like the wing ones are rather slim... I wouldn't rule out 2x 250 and 1x center 500lb.
As for the proposed loadout, the P-40C doesn't help anything early in CBI. We really need a P-40B modeled to the AVG specs, IMO. Also subs for VVS as they reportedly ran their engines hot until they failed then just scrapped them or dumped in another engine (disposable planes to them)
I'd agree to the L with the caveat that it's the least important as long as you already have the E model. 4 mph difference in top speed, and would be great for skins but overall not so different that the E couldn't sub for it in every occasion.
For the P-40N, could you not also carry 2 wing DTs, and a centerline bomb? Possibly 3 DTs? Were the wings plumbed or just racked?
INK: Some did. Guppy posted one, I posted another.

thanx
very nice "looking" birds I wish they flew like a KI

I would never get out of it...yes I know it can be a tough bird, it just does not suit me and my flying style.
