ya Allison engine, also note RAF 51 As had machine guns under the nose aswell.

 

[Wildcat]

I thought it was an A-36? But then again all those mustang thingies look the same

 

[Heinz]

same thing ain't it?

 

[Catch22]

Well, technically speaking it's both. It was originally the P-51A Mustang, but got renamed to the A-36 Apache, and was only used for ground attack because of its poor high altitude performance due to the Allison engine.

[Wildcat]

Cool. You gotta love the old P-40!

 

[Catch22]

Yes, you certainly do!

 

[Wurger]

 

[Gnomey]

Nice!

 

[Trebor]

ok, even though I hate the N model of the P-40, that's a damn fine lokoing model

 

[Matt308]

Yessir it is.

But it could have used the Wayne Little subtlety of proper weathering.
