So I've heard some rumors lately about P-40's gathering later this year around Atlanta. Anyone know anything about this or is it purely rumors? :drink3:

Two rare photos and one ultra-rare photo ...

USAAF Curtiss P-40E 41-25094 with wing tanks.

USAAF Curtiss P-40F 41-13600 with an interesting tail configuration.

... and an ultra-rare photo of the rarely seen and rarely known only P-40B that landed in the hands of the Luftwaffe.

How about video of a live fire test in NZ? That's a lot of brass to sweep up. :supz:

Hi Mark,

Your "ultra-rare photo of the rarely seen and rarely known only P-40B that landed in the hands of the Luftwaffe" is the old (50 years plus) Monogram P-40B. I would recognize that ground crew anywhere. I think the photo is from some 30 year old Fine Scale Modeler issue.

All the best
