will the new P40 be green and gray or Tan and Green ???cant tell from the Ads ?
The photographs in a Feb 2006 review article in one of the leading Japanese RC magazines (RC Air World), the P40 is done in a light tan and army green camo pattern. Since this pattern (like on my Me109) is achieved with iron on patches of a monocoat like covering it's probably best to seal at least the seams on the wing and fuse with a light spray with a sealant. I used a spray-on urethane available here. This does a nice job of sealing the decals too.

It's selling for 17,800 yen (about $155) as is the Me109 and P-51D. For some reason (national pride?) the Zero is selling for 24,800 (about $213).
