Please tell me that was an attempt at humor.
Or are you being intentionally obtuse.
Note that I'm not claiming my P-40 is dead on perfect scale. It is however to the average "warbird person" plainly and obviously a model of a P-40 Warhawk. It is built stock from the kyosho arf and recovered with a color scheme of my liking due to the need to strip the arf for proper reinforcement.

Also, for those that are mentioning the choice of color and finish. Sure, it would be nice if they were done to represent a full scale plane, but that is not the issue. There is no speed, performance improvement gained or lost by the choice of colors.

The intentional reduction in cross section of the fuselage and planform of the wing taken to the extremes we are seeing does generate an improvement in speed that a more realistic looking plane dies not have.

Funny, those protesting the loudest......well you know.
