That's correct....
I think only a very few P-40's had the sky blue on them..That really was not a USAAF color.
The RAF had alot of them like that.

Sounds like you picked up a box of something you use once a month to stay fresh.

Thanks buddy.

I don't have anything to contribute as far as the correct shade of the undersides on the AVG planes, but IIRC the AVG did received some P-40s from the RAF inventory which consequently
retained whatever the shade of color used by the RAF Hawks on the udersides of their a/c? Would this be the case perhaps, or is it just wishful thinking on my part?
