Medicineman that is a P 40 Warhawk. The large air intake augmented the Shark Mouth (Open Jaws)  paint job. It may not look as attractive on the Mustang which has a streamlined fairing. Dorwin may prove me wrong in 3 hours and 48 mins, though!

Ok guys!
Paint scheme coming up in a few hours, a little bit of detailing is balanced, but that will be done in the coming days as I need a Black Marker!
Please do not laugh on this paint I chose >> I built my own Mustang, so I chose my own vivid coloring ;D
After all its a Private Mustang ;D

Ok, here are the wings below, what I have done is I have combined Aneesh's idea of the P40 and VC's idea of the Mustang P51 so stay tuned for the "Swamp Shark" soon!!

there's one thing I goofed up on, I installed the servos for the tail fin and the elevator on top!
Initially, I had designed them to sit inside the fuse itself, the response was not too good so without thinking, melted out the fuselage from outside :(

You've pulled off a real beauty here. In a way, I had a sense of involvement in this project. You are right, I'm going to miss this build thread. It was something that I used to look forward to every day.

Waiting for the maiden Video in December! :thumbsup:

Bravo! :bow:
