p-40 42-104959, this P-40 is listed for sale on Platinum Fighter Sales [http://www.platinumfighters.com/#!__p40n]. Are there any photo's out there of this aircraft or any info on the owner? Just Curious.

Good looking plane - Always liked that South Pacific camouflage scheme.

Five bucks says it ends up in either Texas or California.

For some clarification, the TP-40N project listed for sale on Platinum Fighter Sales, with the serial number 42-104959, is completely separate to that of the P-40N owned by John Fallis which is described in the link that Dave posted (a beautiful restoration!). Although on that webpage it makes mention that some parts from 42-104959 might have been incorporated into John Fallis' P-40N, the aircraft icorporates parts from 42-105681, and that is the identity it has assigned/registered. The project listed on Platinum Fighter Sales, at least to me, sounds like a mostly new-build project (being done at Precision Aerospace), which will be assigned the identity of 42-104959, and seems by the description/images, is being built to full TP-40N configuration (like Kermit Weeks' original TP-40N, rather than a stock 'N' with dual controls). Being a big fan of the 'look' of Kermit Weeks' TP-40N, it will be nice to see another example flying. To me, it would seem like it would make a perfect companion to a certain touring TP-51C.

Agreed John- I must admit I was a bit lazy and posted the first Google link I came across
Will have to put the squeeze on the Precision boys for an update, sadly not as easy now as it was when Murray was still around

Some TP canopy variations.

Close... so close.

Regardless, it is great to see Sister Ship at the very least
