Help with P-40 ID

[Mark Nankivil]

Greetings All -

I am starting to scan a batch of negatives and prints that a friend has loaned me. Few of the prints have info with them and I could use some help with this one.

Thanks! Mark

That was the first P-40 I ever saw at a airshow in Milwaukee.
It was painted camo with shark's mouth and a yellow spinner.
35+ years ago (ouch!)

Is that an Aeroproducts prop? Wonder how it affected performance...

WAS! Now apart of the Pacific Aviation Museum. Also, this was one of the two airframes used in Tora Tora Tora.

Is the canopy side-hinged or something else? I can't imagine it would slide back any more with that ADF football in the way.

looks to be side hinged in the photos.

Never seen an Allison with a four bladed prop...

I'd really like to make a model of it. Anyone have an idea of the main color and the cheatline?

The Allison powered P-82s had 4-blader props on them! Plus, didn't the P-40Q have a 4-blader?
