Spot what's new? :)
As I'm doing the N, I thought I may as well go the whole way and do the very first N-type, the P-40N-1-CU, which had the original canopy. Early days, the canopy itself is still unpainted here. The N-1 wasn't a very popular version, being basically used for just training in the US, although the New Zealanders used them for a while - although every photo I can find of the RNZAF ones appear to have the full six gun complement, so I'm not sure what was actually going on.
Anyway, just thought this would round out the N version.
As ever, lot's more to do, but the package is coming along. :)
