A vist to a very busy and cloudy Duxford. I'll upload this repaint this evening.

Very much enjoying this aircraft. To my mind the P-40 just looks right and fires the imagination. Congrats to all who helped to produce and test the package.

Now, here's a pic of a very early WIP. It's taken me ages to align things around the nose. Mostly due to my lack of practice but partly due to the paint-kit layout as well. But hell, I'll get there in the end - I hope.

Here's a work in progress on a depiction of Chris Prevost's P-40N. I need to align the tail number on the right side (and the tail numbers themselves should be bigger), probably increase the exhaust staining a bit, and make some new prop textures.

The aircraft today is based at the Sonoma Valley airport, with Chris Prevost's other warbirds (which includes the most spectacular F3F). The aircraft originally served in the Pacific with the 7th FS, 49th FG, and was one of a few P-40's flown by Lt. Ray Melikian, who was credited with downing three aircraft - two Zeroes and a Betty bomber, all while flying P-40's. Later, while being flown by Lt. Marion Hawke, the aircraft was substantially damaged when it collided with a P-47 while attempting to land at the Iron Range Repair Depot in Queensland, Australia. The aircraft remained abandoned at the old airfield until being recovered in 1973. The airframe passed through several hands over the years, including Charles Darby and Judy Pay. In 2000, the project was listed for sale and purchased by Chris Prevost, who then had the aircraft shipped to the Sonoma Valley airport where the restoration to airworthy began. Doing much of the work himself, over almost a decade, Chris Prevost flew the aircraft for the first time in January 2009. The aircraft was finished in the basic markings it originally carried, consisting of mainly just factory markings and the cowling number as originally applied when it served in the 7th FS, however recently a shark mouth has been applied (perhaps to coincide with another shark-mouthed P-40 which recently also now calls the Sonoma Valley airport home).

Hi Mike or John

Any advice - as you know the tail plane surfaces are split on the repaint kit. What is odd is that the squares on my attempted repaint seem to resise to a different scale on each separate surface. can this be rectified somehow before I spend 2 hours reworking the black squares?

Thought I would start a thread for repaints of the fabulous P-40N by Flight Replicas. Please post your repaints here instead of the announcement thread. Thanks

Here is my first shot at Mikes great P-40N. This is the 65th FS in North Africa.

OK, so I was impatient, and bought it while on holiday, but painting a new aircraft on a primitive laptop is not so much fun...so you will have to be patient. But I'm working on it!

Just thought I'd post a quick update. Progress has been slow due to work commitments and mastering alignment techniques across parts of the model. Anyway, finally happy with the nose and have almost finished the fuselage stripe. Then just the underside stripe, fuselage codes, tail serials and alpha mask and I think it may be ready. BTW for those of you who are wondering; the scheme is that of Major Ben Preston who was the C.O. of the 13th FG circa 1944.

The history and a bit of Real verse Sim or Visa Versa This aircraft had a personal interest , i knew ex-RNZAF LAC Stanley Jackson and his wife ex-RNZAF nurse Mary many years ago and he serviced this aircraft in the Pacific , the details are close to what Stan recalled but i can confirm ... i wish i had accepted the log books he had .
As the result of correspondence between two armourers of No. 4 Servicing Unit at Ondonga, on New Georgia in the Solomon Islands, and a pen-friend who was a tuberculosis patient at Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand named Gloria Lyons, it was decided to adopt her as a unit mascot. At that time 4 (SU) aircraft carried code letters, so one P-40N-1, NZ3148 coded 'G', was duly christened 'Gloria Lyons', and this name was painted on the lower engine cowls.

I cannot believe how long it has taken me to size and align the stripes around the fuselage/wing-roots and the "P1" codes on the sides. Hopefully it has been worth it. A bit of tidying to be done and then the alpha maps and it should be ready. If not this weekend then early next week.

Regards,

Taff

PS my advice to those repainters who haven't yet discovered the 'features' of the paintkit for themselves - when choosing a scheme, steer clear of anything that overlaps the side of the nose and the top of the cowling and/or side of the fuselage and wing-root covers. You'll be doing yourself a big favour! :icon_lol:

Brilliant work, Taff, and thank you for keeping at it! I look forward to seeing the final results in the sim.

Speaking of the P-40 again, I ran across this nice video over the weekend, shot from the gun sight location on the Warhawk Air Museum's P-40E. The Warhawk Air Museum, a fantastic collection (with some deep history in the 'warbird restoration movement' - John Paul Sr. being one of the original "Chino Kids"), is based at the Nampa, Idaho airport, and they also operate a P-40N painted in the distinctive "Parrothead" training squadron markings. In the video, there is quite a bit of demonstration as to how light and repsonsive the ailerons are on the P-40 - just cruising around at 220-225 mph.

I really like that , more for the geographic study of the river bed come canyon, very much different to the New Zealand landscape, we here have looking a little more like the USA's North West or Canada ... or John "RAMBO" country ... now i wonder how he would do in a P-40 :icon_lol: ... course Mars my cat had to say something about the pooch ;)

Congratulations and thanks to my fellow repainters for the recent additions to the P-40N fleet :applause:. Have downloaded them and added them to my hanger.

My repaint has just been updated with improved alpha and specular channels and is also a lot shinier now due to a modified aircraft.cfg file entry :icon_lol:

Thank you guys (Stovall and Barnes and anyone else with a W.I.P.) for the great repaints.

I never seem to thank people enough for their contributions. So, next round of :icon29::icon29::icon29: is on me....

Barnes et al.

My red/black nose P-40N is available in the SO Add-Ons Library and has been for a few days now. The latest update, applied yesterday, improves the specular/alpha maps and offers a much shinier appearance due to the fact that I'm now using a more appropriate model in the aircraft.cfg file :icon_lol:

Regards,

Taff

Thanks Taff, off to check her out. Isn't it fun matching up all those lines. I am serious when i say that. The challenge is what makes it fun and to see the results is something we all enjoy. Much appreciated.

Barnes, Stovall,

Excellent stuff. Very much looking forward to downloading these and adding them to my hanger :icon_lol:

Barnes - is your checkertail P-40N available here in the library?

Regards,

Taff

Hi Taff - no I have had great trouble for some reason uploading to the library recently - it just hangs and does nothing - so I don't try anymore.

you can download from here.. http://share.cx.com/5sthx
