Caldwell P-40 has a real nice brown, tan and blue color scheme with a red spinner. Highly recommended............Flying Mule has a nice set of images
for review.

Welcome to the forum, Art. It would've been nice if the C1 RAF P-40 Tomahawk had the distinctive "snarling mouth" noseart as I recall reading that the RAF P-40 squadrons were the originators of that iconic noseart, no?

If you want to commemorate the origin of the shark mouth then yes an RAF Tomahawk should be issued with the shark mouth.
C1 has one shark mouth and FM has 4 shark mouths so I assume that had some influence on the C1 decision. One of the FM
is an RAF Kittyhawk.

I'm eyeing on that GMP RAF P-40 when the right deal comes along.

I finally cracked under pressure and bought one ,(US ebay) the $60 price tag is OK but just wait until the shipping cost is added, groan.
