This is a repaint of A2A's P-40B AVG depicting Hawk 81-a2 Number '49, P-8133 flown by Tommy Haywood of the 3rd Pursuit Squadron.
This aircraft was formerly attached to the 2nd Pursuit Squadron. The ‘Bulldog’ insignia was applied to both sides of the aircraft as a reference to Haywood's days as an USMC pilot. Of particular interest are the partial remains of a ‘Flying Tiger’ insignia that peeled off during flight. The outline of the ‘Tiger’ is still visible, due to the discoloration of the surrounding area by the protective varnish applied to secure the decal. A new decal complete with blue victory "V" has been applied.
