Japanese-captured P-40
This was a Langley P-40 that I had powered the prop on. Been wanting to do this for a while, and finally got around to it. My Zero needed some company, now I just need to get it a Japanese pilot

WOW very nice work mate
Original idea as Kevrut says.
Just out of curiosity though did the Japanese actually use captured hardware? Or they deem it Inferior?
I know the ETO theyre was a LOT of using Enemy hardware though on the Pacific front I have no idea.
Again Great work & hope you find/make a custom Japanese pilot.

Thanks, guys.
This is the web page I found a while ago that this is based on. I tried to mimick the paint scheme in the first picture, which is why I'm not sure I got the yellow leading edges correct. Oh well, good enough for me
