RNZAF P 40M/N colour Schemes

[alanw]

Hi All

This question is prompted by some thing I read on Britmodeller,
with regard to lend lease RAAF P 40's in USAAF colours (much like
RNZAF P 40's)

www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234911064&pid=942674&st=0&#entry942674

If you read Post#9 regarding Olive Drab P 40's with medium green paint splotches on the wing leading edge and the tail units, did RNZAF P 40's have the same?

Another question is from post#8 regarding the wing ailerons, when the P 40's were repainted in Foliage Green/Sky Grey, did the same principle about the balancing issues apply?

Just interested, as it's not something I had given any thought to

Thanks

Alan

I have definitely seen RNZAF P-40's with the paint splodges on the tail, one of the Rukuhia threads had one.

'll have a hunt through the threads

I think it was a Rukuhia thread anyway.
