Cannot be Bormans 63, his does not have stars, his has stars and bars. Plus if you look closely it has a red nose, CAFs has red nose(spinner) and Stars, no bars :!:

My bad. I didn't read the topic close enough. I just assumed (bad word) as they have been using the "P-64" a lot lately.

If it is a P-39, it doesnt look like the centex wings unless they repainted it into a older look.

That looks to me like a P-39! And I would venture a GOOD guess its CAF's based in San Marcos? Correct me if I'm wrong. I've seen them use the P-63 in the Tora act but its a little indisposed at the moment so that rules that out!

Heck I have even seen them use Howards Bearcat to chase the Zero's in the act :!:

How weird is that

Not as weird as a P-51 chasing them! I'm a P-51 fan, but that's just wrong...

They did, as the highest scoring in type in the Pacific IIRC. More or less its still the same paint scheme she wore previously minus the nose art and the new scheme is not overly accurate

It does appear to be a P-39 in the video which makes the choices very narrow.

Now, there's a surprise! I thought that all of the CAF paint jobs were highly researched and accurate, just like the Wildcat or Martlett.

I think you are refering to the Martlet scheme on their FM2 thats on the cover of WarbirdDigest #21. That is the worst scheme I've seen. It looks like a Tonka Truck.

Dont be silly... Tonka Trucks are yellow!

The crowning glory to the Martlett will be the CAF Winged Logo!

A nice contrast on a black O-2 would be a CAF logo, don't you think?

MEMBERED OWNED AND FLOWN IN SUPPORT OF THE CAF..................all about 26 ft. long will look good. Has to be in pink though.
