Soviet P-40C and P-40E

I just now stumbled upon this very interesting article and history of two P-40's recently recovered from Russia. it always amazes me that the tires on 60-70 year-old aircraft are almost always still inflated! I wonder how many hundreds of lend-lease aircraft from WW2 are scattered across Russia waiting to be discovered, recovered, and restored? I hope you find this post interesting.

Hi Mike, and anyone else.

One of the best modelling resources for colours of Soviet P-40's is here

Note if you click on the profile it takes you to a larger 3 view AND the photos it's based upon.
