Holy Smokes, Jan.... Is this the A2A P-40? :isadizzy::icon29::icon29::icon29::applause:

That's rather nice again... I'm intrigued by the positioning of the black area under the wing though - that's not normal!

I don't suppose your source says anything about why it's not half-and-half black/white as per the standard scheme, does it, Jan Kees?

A2A it is..

and yes, it is not normal. This was a paintscheme for a series of anti- invasion excersizes that were held in june/july 1941.
The pic shows RM-D, but I painted 'E' because that had the springbok in the fin flash, which 'D' did not have, and I thought that that looked cool...

..rather nice, mmm?

turns out I had the color of the codes wrong, and I needed to adjust the camo on the nose a bit:

P-40s still look good in British camo, even if I am horrendously biased.

Looking very nice indeed. :ernae:
