I have an old Academy kit I've been meaning to finish as Khlobistov's P-40, for a long time. Before the taran, of course!
Hi Jason, I have the same kit and I expect to do it after the taran
I don't think. The photo under a cloudy sky shows an uniform color. The photo with horizontal light gives the idea of silver, but the shadow of the wing on the rudder is as dark as expected from a non metallic surface.
Hi Massimo, I agree with you. I wrote that before I saw the pics in your website...
perhaps this is silver. It looks metallic even if the sun is relatively high.
The pics can let think that it is, but all the context around says it isn't.
First there are very few P-40 silver in general (I remenber only brazilians p-40 and a plane with orange nose)
second it's not in VVS tradition at all let planes all in silver in that period)
I would say white...
