Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

I don't get it.. I wanted to hear the sound of the guns but the part I saw where they were actually firing had music playing over it.. I wish people would stop adding music to the background of films. Just let the film play.....

The skinner in me is very put off my those markings. Plenty of shark-mouthed P-40N schemes to choose from, so why mimic a P-40B scheme? Yeah sure, the Flying Tigers are an iconic squadron, but their lineage carried over to the 23rd Fighter Group that actually flew P-40N's in China.

This has long been a common substitution in the warbird scene because of the relative scarcity of airworthy Bs and Cs.  Most people associate the P-40 with the AVG, so the result is the big snout models in AVG paint.


I grew up with the CAF's P-40 (along with two others) in AVG paint so it's always looked pretty cool to me.   However, I think Don Lopez' "Lope's Hope" would be a cool scheme to see flying again.
