Yowsa Mr Miller is that ever sweet! You've applied one of the sexiest racing paint schemes I've ever seen! I'm really impressed by your attention to the prop. It's details like this that take a project to the next level.

Wow we've got some absolutely amazing entries in this group build!

Good job Eddie!  You can hardly tell it's a P-40 & it definatley has that Unlimited Warbird look.  The Spinner looks like the Czech Roundel, was this intentional or just because it looked cool? B)  
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thank you very much Guys! B)

Mossie,
 I did catch the similaries, but I did it to include the colors of the aircraft.

Thanks Eddie, on two counts.
1 For showing us a great model
2 For inspiring the paint on the Swan model.  I was totally stuck for ideas on this and needed input.
I`ll post you a red ball on the rocks at the weekend.
Cheers :cheers: Gary

Fantastic stuff Eddie.  The only thing that gives it away as a P-40 is the undercarriage!  :lol:
