his P-40B was at PH on 7 Dec 1941.
I did not get the stitching together of the two halves exactly right but the picture is still quite stunning.
Replica Ju-87 far right?Nice. This P-40C was a Tomahawk IIB supplied to the RAF, and was transferred to the Soviet Union. Discovered as a wreck in Russia in 1990, it was restored in New Zealand and is seen here in 2011 at its first public outing following restoration. It flies with Rod Lewis' Air Legends collection at San Antonio, Tx.

How do ya do it?
Replica Ju-87 far right?
The irony of that photo is that my Uncle Charles was a P-40 pilot and my Uncle Jimmy was a P-36 pilot, both at Pearl Harbor that morning.
Thanks for the close up of the L/G doors and fairing. helps greatly with a controlline model as yet unfinished.
Thanks. I will.Hi Ed, P-40 walkaround here if you want further detail:
Thanks Miflyer.Well, I achieved that miracle of photo manipulation by not doing the hardest part of it. Subscribers get access to an on-line version of the magazine, so I downloaded that, converted it from PDF to jpg, then cropped off the inner white borders using a picture manipulation program, imported them into a new picture and lined them up. The reason that the P-36 matches but the P-40 does not is because you have to shrink the two pictures to exactly the same size and that is not easy to do. They come out of the jpg converter as full magazine sized pages and so will not fit on the cut and paste field without a lot of shrinking. Maybe you could shrink automatically to a standard size, but I do not know.
Sweet!After seeing the polished up P-40, I gave the treatment to a Monogram 1/48 P-40B/C.
