Vader, are you familiar with the P-40 in the LSU bookstore?


No. I’m not. Do you mean an actual P-40?

My young PVT, and our P40N in desert livery at the museum I work at. You may have seen this one in Pearl Harbor, and Valkyrie.

I love the jungle scheme from the battles of China, My favorite liveries were the Taiwanese and the desert.

Model looks excellent, well done !

Not an actual one but a large replica...I think somewhere around 1/2 size--not sure if it's supposed to be a D or an early N model with the 4 wing mounted MG.

Daily Reville Link with several P-40 pictures Couldn't the the photo link to work.

It’s not a real one. It’s scaled down, looks like about 80%. It’s decorated in lsu livery with the flying tiger logo and Mike the Tiger is in the cockpit.

Edit:


I feel the need to state that Claire Chennault attended LSU, hence the connection
