Paint kit for the FDG2's P-40/Kittyhawks?

Dear folks,

as stated in the "Wanaka" thread, I'd like to dress the fine FDG2 P-40/Kittyhawk with some appropriate New Zealand skins.

And here's a nice overview of potential candidates:

I particulary like the markings of ZK-RMH / NZ3009, but ZK-CAG A29-448 with its different markings on each side would be fine either.

Does anyone know about blank templates or even a paint kit for the FDG2's Kittyhawks?


I also took a look at the IRIS P-40 set, but the price of 23 EUR at simmarket seems a bit high to me for model released already in 2005!
The total absence of a 2D panel won't indulge me for a purchase as well...

Cheers,
Markus.
 
I bought it a year or so ago. The sounds are great, the model itself is great but for the life of me, I cant get it over 250 mph without the whole aircraft shaking violently. The machine gun effects are awesome but if I cant cruise at 300 knots at altitude, then I'm not interested. If it flew better, I'd use it all the time. But it shaking violently is just unrealistic at any altitude, at 250 mph, especially for an aircraft that could run upwards of 370 or so.

I wish I could fix it.
