Getting bored yet? These will do you for giving the Japs something to think about...







Needless to say, we haven't finished! There are more to come...
 
Hardpoints

Do these birds have under-wing hardpoints? Only a few of the existing P-40s, including the Firepower P-40n, seem to have the additional hardpoints. Don't know what the historical situation was.
 
These do not, no - relatively few Kittyhawk Is did have, and they were the final production run. Rene's P-40Fs and Ls do have the underwing hardpoints, which is historically correct.
 
Even the F/L series had relatively low wing bomb loads, it was only from the M onwards that the P-40 began to get used as a more serious fighter bomber and the late N series is a chapter of its own in that regard. The sometimes seen 3x 500lb maximum bomb load only applies to the last few P-40N production blocks.

Field modifications, on the other hand, are a different story but I wouldn't consider them a norm as the aircraft very likely were pushed to, and even beyond, the safe limits of what the wing could take before breaking.
 
These do not, no

Er, not strictly true Nigel, I did put pylons in 'just in case'. :running:
