Once approved by admin there's a couple of P-40s that have been sat on my HD for a couple of years.
P40 Tomahawk IIa and AVG P40C.

Awesome ! So excited to see these P-40's ! Love this wonderful model you converted.

Is this the A2A conversion?

 

[Pat Pattle]

Yes Daniel, re-mapped textures for these 2 variants.

Such a nicely detailed model. Conversions are more difficult to do than most realize . Thank you Clive for all the effort ! i love the one for MAW too !

"Conversions are more difficult to do than most realize."
If I were a better modeller I'd make them from scratch, they would be quicker and easier to map. But I'm not, all I can do is add bits, so conversions it is!

Tomahawks were assigned to 26 Squadron based at Gatwick in early 1941 joining Lysanders on Army Liaison work. RM-D AH893 starts to appear in the squadron ORB later in the year when they started flying Rhubarbs and Photo/Recce Ops over France sometimes forward based at Manston. They were replaced by more capable Mustangs in early 1942. AH896 / RM-Y was another IIA whilst AH791 / RM-E was a I.

Just a note, there's a RAF version for CFS3 MAW in the Resources section. A aircraft made for the Shark mouth !

Thanks Andy ! Great ! Need to check and see if i have that gunsight in the expansion.

 

[MajorMagee]

The effects listed above can also be used for the P40_Tomahawk_IIA.

The .+nm file provided for the P40_Tomahawk_IIA does not match the model texture, and causes lighting distortion in game. I switched it for the one included in the P40_Tomahawk_C package, and everything is back to normal.

 

[sixstrings5859]

Thank's for the information Andy.
