P-40F of the 68th Fighter Squadron, based on Guadalcanal in January 1943. This aircraft was used for several months by a few different pilots. Reference photos of "White 208" show at least three versions of the white stripes used for IFF. I chose to depict it with the earliest version - a single white band around the fuselage. Later, stripes would be added to the upper and lower wings, crossing over the engine cowling. Later still, stripes would be added to vertical and horizontal stabilizers. The shark mouth was seen from the earliest photo and all of them with the red portion in a shade that seems lighter than one would expect.
