the RAF africa were the first to use the "sharks teeth" paint.
i vote for RAF north africa

the AVG P40's were speical built ,cause all the reg production p40's were going to england, the AVG engines were built from out of spec parts that were hand finished so they ended up with "blueprinted" engines that put out more power than std production engines.

only 100 AVG P40's were built

[Kweassa]

My vote is on the Flying Tigers

 I think generally that's the favorite among all foavorite schemes

 for P-40s

 ..

 mmm.. Now if we just had A6M2s

[BlauK]

naah... give us P-36  

[oboe]

Alot of you can have your cake and eat it too!

The Flying Tigers were disbanded in July1942, however the air group (23rd FG) that took their place continued using P-40s with shark mouth motifs, until late '44 or '45, when the P-51A started replacing them.

So you could get a P-40E, P-40K, P-40M, or P-40N with 23rd FG markings and it woudl have the shark mouth.

The P-40 flew in nearly every combat theater, so I hope we get several different models with a good variety of color schemes.  Definitely a China P-40 with a sharkmouth, but also a British P-40 in desert camo.

Allright firs off. The P-40 was an AMERICAN PLANE, OF AMERICAN DESINGE. you brits have the spits temps typhoons hurri's and other things.  The americans need more fighters and bombers. Allso give us the FLYING TIGERS:D In my mind probibly the best fighter squadren ever:D They fley and were totaly out classed by the Japanies Aircraft. The americans deserve the P-40 in the AMERICAN SCHEEM, Keep the warhawk from going AWAL.  That was my rant:D

Brief translation of the reply above minus the nationalism: Like me, he wants a P-40B in AVG markings

Of course it wouldn't be such a bad idea to dress a P-40C in AVG colors to permit carriage of a drop tank, unless HTC wouldn't mind adding both at one time since they are almost identical.

[AKDejaVu]

any of the above.
