This is a repaint only of the the Curtiss Hawk 81 - SP1 by Bruce Thorson. This P-40B, 41-13297, was based at Oahu, Hawaii & survived the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, though was later lost on a routine patrol in January of 1942. The Curtis Wright Historical Association/Project Tomahawk recovered the aircraft along with the remains of 39-285 and 39-287 in 1989, with the focus on restoring 41-13287 to airworthy condition. By 2002 the aircraft was sent to Fighter Rebuilders in Chino, CA to finish the restoration. Now beautifully finished and flown in its wartime markings again, the aircraft has been obtained by The Fighter Collection, Duxford. Version 2: This new version of my original TFC P-40B repaint is vastly improved over my original example, for more accuracy and more realism.
