Hi gentlemen!

This is a pack of 4 skins of the same plane, at 3 different moments:

1. Toungoo, Burma, August to November 1941 (AVG03A).
2. Kunming, China, December 1941 (AVG03B).
3. Rangoon, Burma January to February 1942 (AVG03C and ABG03Cbis).

This Curtiss Hawk 81-A2 nÃ‚Â° P-8103, took off for the first time in august 1941 at Toungoo airfield (Burma) and was written of at Rangoon (Burma) on 23 february 1942. It was flown by Dick ROSSI (6 victories) and also William BARTLING (5 victories). It has two little roundels (chinese and american) on each side of the cockpit. It seems that this plane has never received a shark mouth, but ROSSI said that it has one. So I have made two different version, with and without shark mouth.

Template by Leadspitter, flaps modified by Pierre Alfaro, other modifications by ObÃƒÂ©lix!

Have fun! Mr. Green

And Merry Christmas!

Teasing and "art box":

Number "3" at Toungoo:

Note that the Curtiss dark eath iseems to be "redish".

The "3" after november 1941:

Colours are no so bright as before, note the dark blue chinese roundels!

The "3" probably in january-february 1942:

Note that the chinese blue is more light, the dark earth is more sand than before. As all the AVG planes, this one is very dirty!

Shark mouth version, also in january-february 1942:

Ciao
