Photographs taken at the Tri-State Warbird Museum, Batavia, Ohio
Modelers should note that this is an airworthy warbird, and several details differ from the original configuration. Still, these photographs provide useful information concerning the general arrangement and routing of the lines and engine components.

Modelers should note that this is an airworthy warbird, and several details differ from the original configuration. What, exactly, is “different” from the original configuration?
This restoration is a completely authentic” time capsule restoration.

Keep in mind my note is addressed to modelers. There are several details which a modeler building a replica of a P-40 in service should represent differently. For instance, the coolers may be 100% authentic or made to original specs and look wonderful on the restoration, but period photos show them aged with a natural darkish brown color in service, never polished (why would you?). Modelers will want to paint their model accordingly.
