P-40B MTO Markings.

Hi all!

I was wondering whether anyone has a camouflage schemes for P-40's operating in the MTO


Thanks!!

US or RAF? US would be the standard OD over grey or desert pink. The RAF use two shades of brown or a green and grey combination. Sorry but I am at work and cannot look up the colors for you. You may want to look in the aircraft amrkings and camouflage section.

Here you are a few profiles for P-40B used in N.Africa. Source unknown...

I hope these will help.

Thanks! I'm going to look at the decals and see if anything matches! Again thanks DBII and Wurger!

 

[B-17engineer]

Hmm looking, it seems that the only letters for the side I have is KHR I have the RAF emblem. If I could find any decals I may be able to do something.

 

[Wurger]

You'r welcome.

DO these work? Thanks

Edit: It's the P-40 F whoops nevermind

 

[Wurger]

These are looking very nice. But as you have mentioned these were for P-40F version and don't fit to the B one.

 

[B-17engineer]

I'm still looking for the making your own decal thing. I hope I can find it soon or else I'll have to do the SM 79... and that paint scheme is a pain!

 

[Wurger]

I don't think so. Could you post here an example of the camo scheme for the SM.79?

 

[B-17engineer]

Well I don't have profiles but here are some.....

 

[Wurger]

I see. You can be sure it is not a problem to make a such camo scheme.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes, but wouldn't it be a bit hard to brush paint a camo scheme like that? I can't afford an airbrush right now, .
