Title: Colour of Khlobystov Hawk? Post by: marluc on March 03, 2009, 09:19:19 PM Hello everybody:
I would like to know your opinion about the colour of Khlobystov?s P-40/Tomahawk,as in the known photos is too hard to distinguish.I?ve seen profiles with both options:Olive Drab/Neutral Grey as in P-40C or Dark Green/Dark Earth/Sky as in Tomahawks. Thanks in advance for your answers,best regards: Martin: Title: Re: Colour of Khlobystov Hawk? Post by: Dark Green Man on March 04, 2009, 06:24:17 AM I believe it was an ex-RAF machine so that would mean it was originally painted here in the US using 'equivalent colors' Dupont 71-009 brown , 71-013 green and 71-021 'sky type s gray'. if the British repainted it I do not know.

Thanks a lot for your answer.It?s just what I think of the colour scheme under the white wash. Best regards: Martin Title: Re: Colour of Khlobystov Hawk? Post by: Dark Green Man on March 05, 2009, 06:11:57 AM ...and where did I get that information? (see link below) although it does not state the colors specifically, it does mention that they were ex-RAF machines. that eliminates the ex-USAAF Olive Drab/Neutral Gray scheme for this particular batch of aircraft. (later on they did receive a number of P-40C's in O.D./N.G.)[/color] http://lend-lease.airforce.ru/english/articles/romanenko/p-40/index.htm Title: Re: Colour of Khlobystov Hawk?
