New models aren't outside the realm of the possible. In a previous thread, Pyro said:

Well, now we're getting the updated shape, so maybe (?) we'll get an additional model or two thrown in there.

I'd hit a late-model Jabo P-40N, and for skins would love a long-tail P-40F/L

Another P40 would be great. Can't wait to see the P40B update on the front page  :rock

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

It appears the Duxford guys will have to get photos of the other three variants that HTC is adding or remodeling for AH.  A nicely done  P40N showed up today to go with the 40F and 40C

It's common knowledge that from any given time, the nearest update will always be in two weeks.

HTC like to drip feed news of the new rides out via their website. Usually one a week until the new release is done.

The canopy was kind of a challenge to build. It was hard to find detailed pics of the interior of the canopy. I had to use blue prints which was a pain in it's own way:  Find the general assembly drawing, then find part number - then cross reference part number with drawing number of the part in drawing index - Get drawing of the part - get dimensions from drawing - build / texture part in 3d.

All in all, I think it came out pretty good. Was actually nice having a full set of factory blueprints for the actual dimensions of parts to work with.

And people wonder why it takes so much time for new planes. Great job.

I just can't believe you can be so good at modeling cartoon airplanes and so stinking terrible at making avatars. :D

I can't wait to get in it adn see it up close!   The remodelled cockpits in AH2 are absolutely terrific.

Well, you've seen this before but what the heck...

Here's me at Flying Legends 2006

It was simply a dream come true...most of the time you didn't know where to look.  :rofl
