Nice pics Jack! Thanks for posting.

That last picture makes the P-40 looks so naked without it's sharks mouth after looking at all the previous pictures with sharks mouths. That skull on the nose is cool too!...

Cheers,

In the last two pictures the Planes have no intake scoop on the top cowl. What model are they? Did they have Merlin's?

Yes. They 're F models powered by the Packard Merlin. The last 2 are F-15s with the fuselage extension.
