Any chance up uploading to Flightsim.to?
This is how F-AZKU looked this summer. Its new owner painted over the "Burma Banshees" nose art (which had no connection to the aircraft's wartime history), and I read that he intends on putting it back into its correct/original wartime "Little Jeane" nose art/cowl markings, as it had been painted prior to its last owner.

That looks excellent, Thomas!
During WWII, the aircraft had the number '12' on both sides of the cowling and the name 'Little Jeanne' on the port-side cowling. When Murray Griffiths restored the aircraft in Australia (then registered VH-KTI), it was painted exactly as it looked during WWII, and it remained that way for a little while after it was sold to its first French owner, before they decided to make it more interesting (in their eyes) by repainting the nose with the Burma Banshees artwork. Recently sold to a different French owner within the last year, the new owner, from what I've read, now having repainted the nose in solid OD, intends to put the number '12' and 'Little Jeanne' name artwork back on it again.
Note the bare metal cowl flaps, which is common on the P-40. I believe, if they are painted, the paint just ends up getting burnt/flaked off.

In my opinion, this is the best the aircraft has ever looked:

Hello John,Hi Stéph, I will be, it will just take some more time to get to it - I am excited to do it, since it will be double the resolution as the old FSX version. With the school year here starting this coming week I'll be back working full time again, so nothing but the weekends to spend time on anything flight sim related. I'm also now taking care of my mom after she fell and broke her leg and shoulder last weekend, so everything's going to be paused for a while on my end I think. There's still some repaints I have for the FI Spitfire that I need to get around to finishing and uploading one of these days, and I've gotten pretty close to finishing my paintkit for the FI P-38 so that I can make the repaints I want to do for that one.
