Enjoy

For those of you interested in USAAF tactical markings you might
want to check your local library on these books from Schiffer Publishing

I read that in PTO several P-40Ks and P400s were painted coral brown. Everthing on the island was painted coral by the Engrs. Does anyone know if this is the same as Desert Pink used on the B-24s and Spitfires or more of a Desert Sand? I found a P-40 and a P-400 in the discount bin and was thinking of making one.

I think the coral brown was a kind of earth-brown with the sand one.I have found these somewhere in the net.So maybe it can help.

I knew you would have something. I have always wanted to make a model of Texas Longhorn. I am very color blind. What are the tiles below the profile? I like the first tile on the top left.

These tiles are hand made for housing or architecture and are an example of a few different tonolities of the coral brown colour I think.That's way I decided to upload the pice though this shot has nothing in common with aviation rather.It's simply an example. Here you are a pic of the P-40E I found as well.

Micdrow · 07-23-2009, 05:40 PM

yet another profile

Micdrow · 07-23-2009, 05:49 PM

yet another one, close up of nose art

The great suff Paul.

But could you tell me which profile of the last two was issued earlier? I mean the time when both appeared. I'm sure you have noticed that in the last one the coral brown looks like the sand colour.The difference might have been caused by technique of the colour-print.

DBII · 07-24-2009, 02:37 PM

thanks guys, the color blind person sees, brown on the first one, red on the second and yellow on the third...lol. Is this a color I can buy or do I have to mix it?

Thanks Wojtek, the first one is from the book the P-40 Curtis from 1939-1945 by historie and collections published in 2002. The second one is from the book 49th fighter group by squadron signal published in 1989.

Hope it helps, sorry DBII, Im color blind also on the colors
