    Did the Flying Tigers use anything other than a P 40?

    What nation’s symbol was on the plane?

    Was it Chinese Nationalist or the American Star or both?

    I think have convinced my brother to paint my minis.

    Thanks for any replies!

    They were all P40s and they were painted as Nationalist Chinese.  The shark mouth would look cool if you can paint that on them. Personally I like the P40s from the 1941 game much better than the P-38s you get with the other games.

    My brother is an artist, and he thinks he can do this. It also helps that I will be paying his internet bill each month, if he does a good job.

    I thought it would be the perfect test to start off with this piece. Nothing like baptism by fire, LOL.

    If he can accomplish this, it will be exciting. The only thing he worries about is the decaling process.

    I’m like you, I like the other planes as well.

    I just bought a Guadalcanal game to get more hellcat planes because HBG is out of them. It would great if he could get more of them in. I bought 30 of the P 40’s, so I got plenty of those, but the hellcats are the ones that I’m light on.

    If my brother does well on the painting and decaling then, I will buy another Global set and he is going to paint all those as well as my HBG units.

    I have to cross my fingers, LOL. Wish me luck!

    Thanks for the reply!

    that’s a lot of painting!  Maybe he should invest in a microscope

    I’m going to buy him one and he’ll need some brushes. The good news is he has some of the paint. and I found out he knows how to mix his own paint to make different colors, so that will help. :-)

    As a source of inspiration, you might want to check out the John Wayne movie “Flying Tigers”.  Melodramatic but entertaining.

    Yeah, boy that has been a longtime since I’ve seen that one. Thanks for reminding about that! :-D
