I posted this in the P40 forum but I don't think a lot of repainters hang out there (noob problems sorry) But is there any chance someone could take up this task? Found this online a while back and since I don't exactly have $1.6 million (even in Canadian!) laying around I guess I'll just settle for the sim version over the real thing.

Re: Repaint request AK803
I haven't done a shiny P-40 before so this was my first.
See what you think.

Re: Repaint request AK803
Thanks Rob.
I have a question. Should the aileron trim tabs be metal? Think I'll do it anyway, probably look better.

Re: Repaint request AK803
Good call, yep they're metal and they are bent through a process of experimentation to trim the ailerons for level flight...it's a highly scientific operation...bladerunner900 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 11:21 Thanks Rob.
