Re: AVG P-40 My first Carousel Die Cast Aircraft

I do know that the P-40's that came with the 23rd Fighter group were painted the standard O.D. over gray.

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.

Re: AVG P-40 My first Carousel Die Cast Aircraft

Guys I've got some new material here that says the undersides of the early AVG crates were painted in something called "Early Morning Misty Heather"....What to do now????

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

Re: AVG P-40 My first Carousel Die Cast Aircraft

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?

That's correct....
