REVIEW : |
Here is the
second sheet and this one includes an regular USAAC P-40. The Flying Tiger
plane was flown by Tommy Haywood of the 3rd PS and has a new 'flying tiger'
on a patch of fresh paint, while the old one is partially painted out. I
should mention that both of these markings were
decals and not painted on
the plane, so it was not unusual for them to peel after a time. The dark
area around the original marking is a clear varnish that was applied in an
attempt to keep this peeling from happening. Flying Tiger P-40s were
painted in US equivalents of RAF colors and so the match is not exact to
the RAF scheme. You'll notice that the USAAC P-40 has longer barrels on the
nose mounted machine guns.
Again, the lighter Chinese roundels are for the upper wing and the darker for the underside. One thing missing from this sheet is the red fuselage stripe so you'll either have to raid a stripes sheet or paint it on.
