FR P-40N - Bare Metal

As promised, seeing as I'm still doing some bare-metal schemes, a few views of the Força Aérea Brasileira P-40N, plus a few of the RAAF version whist we're here (there will also be a painted version).

Hard to get the Brazil colours correctly, and so started with the official colours, and then modified them until the green and yellow had the same tonal relationship as seen in black-and-white photos of the period (1954) by taking screenshots and then making those into b+w. May yet change the scheme as some illustrations show no.5 to be a P-40M, and would like to remove the doubt.

Lastly, just an updated view of the 8th FS aircraft, thanks in part to the good research and eagle eyes of Owen F.. The aircraft appears to have been overhauled and stripped of paint by an Australian maintenance location before being returned to fight, and the windscreen and canopy components appear to have been also replaced sometime even later by those from a camouflaged P-40 which then had the paint removed from just the larger flat surfaces.

More to come.

Thanks a lot for your efforts Mike!
 
Beautiful! I'm itching to get my hands on this...

The P-40N has loads of repaint options and I'm really looking forward to seeing yours, Jankees.



Owen.
