IXO Models Junior PIXJ021
Curtiss P-40N Warhawk
Chinese Air Force, 3rd FG, 7th FS, "Boss's Hoss", Bill Reed, China, 1944

The Chinese did operate the N type, this also means the N type was not a Flying Tiger. This topic was dealt with on the old forum by someone. Yes, it has a shark's mouth, no, it's not an AVG plane. I am not 100% sure about the accuracy of the "boss's hoss" titles on a Chinese Air Force plane...probably it was sth in Chinese instead, but the rest of the livery is 99% accurate.

One thing: does anyone else think the horizontal stabilisers are placed a bit too far ahead? the stabs have this "indentation" precisely for the rudder to work w/o obstruction, but so far ahead, it is not even necessary!
