Yes I know but nothing like looking at the original plus he did a great job on the plane in the game. Anyone know what model are the French p40's?

From wikipeida:
French Air Force
An early order came from the French Armée de l'Air, which was already operating P-36s. The Armée de l'Air ordered 140 as the Hawk 81A-1 but the French military had been defeated before the aircraft had left the factory, consequently, the aircraft were diverted to British and Commonwealth service (as ]the Tomahawk I), in some cases complete with metric flight instruments.
In late 1942, as French forces in North Africa split from the Vichy government to side with the Allies, U.S. forces transferred P-40Fs to the GC II/5, a squadron that was historically associated with the Lafayette Escadrille. GC II/5 used its P-40Fs and Ls in combat in Tunisia and, later, for patrol duty off the Mediterranean coast until mid-1944 when they were replaced by P-47Ds.
hard to tell but they do resemble P-40Fs in the top - key feature of the Merlin-powered F is the lack of air scoop on top of the nose.

I'm sure you've already noticed this, but I'd like to point out that in Waffle's B-24 skin, the city buildings in the background are red, whereas in the photograph they're a dark grey colour. There are other minor things, but those stood out. It's a nice skin at any rate.
