anyone else here go through their childhood spending their allowance and whatever money they could earn buying p-40 models and watching the flying leathernecks every time it came on tv? at $4 to $7 per model plus all the glue, paint, sandpaper, paint brushes, fishing line...i'm pretty sure i had over $200 (1970s value) in just p-40s alone.

can't wait to fly these toon p-40s in the toon skies...  :x

my first cox line control plane was a p40 in the early 80's   :aok

The P-40 never enamored me.  I've always thought it was misproportioned and a an unfortunately ugly fighter when compared to the likes of the P-38, P-51, Spitfire and Bf109.

That said, I am glad to see them get fleshed out due to their significance.

I'll let you have the first crack, then my turn.  :devil

 I'm sure there will be a long line people behind you and I to help show him just how beautiful the P40 really is.   ;)

One of my friends thinks my taste is very suspect due to the Mossie.  He claims it is not used much in the game because it is so ugly.

His favorites are the P-38, F4U and Bf109.

<S> right on back!   :aok

I'm looking forward to the white tailed skin of the RAAF 75th Ftr Sqdn for the P40E, thats the unit that escorted the real Bud Gray and and down the "Slot".   :D

Hopefully, we'll get a whole host of RAF, RAAF, RNZAF, Soviet, Brazilian, and Free French skins for the P40's.  There should be tons of skins available!

opinion are like..... :D


I love the look of the P 40...I don't think its graceful the way the spits look.....but its tough looking...personally I think its the best looking Plane ever.

add the Flying tigers Shark mouth and you have a very mean vicious looking plane....just wish it handled as bad arse as it looked :(

id fly nothing else.

The only joke here is your spelling!

The 38 is one of the sexiest and most unique looking fighters of WWII

Is it me, or do the P40s seem to have one of the best .50 cal gun platforms?  Not to compare with P47D or F4U-1D.

And she is sexy as all hell.
