If we painted the P-35A as a J-9 then the majority of warbird fans would be in a up roar that we did not paint it to represent a American aircraft that saw combat. Good example of another decision we had to make on the paint scheme for our P-51C. This aircraft never saw combat during WW II and it's fame really came from the fact that it was flown by Paul Mantz for several years as a air racer. Now we could have painted it as a air racer but we felt it more important to painted as a combat aircraft [Tusgeegee Airman] which better represented what the aircraft did during this important time in history. I would hope that most warbird fans would be happy just to see a P-35 take to the air again instead of setting static in some museum collecting dust than to argue to paint it as a J-9.
