She is STILL here and NEEDS to be restored, to flying trim...................... and she has most or nearly most of her original bits................... that in itself is remarkably cool!!!!!!!!!!! I love stuff like this, especially the present day pics.... thanks Anthony, awesome stuff..... your build is very clean and neat John, makes me want to do a P40.....this is getting really interesting..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Fantastic work John, I noticed one detail you may find helpful. The drop tank is wider than usually. Not sure if it was standard issue or some kind of field modification. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, I don't intend to attach anything to the shackles. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll try to tone the weathering down some but it is necessary to some extent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
