Hi MajorFailure,

as Caspar said the new P-40 has a full new mapping (new model actually), and there are very few mirrored parts, even less than for other best mapped aircrafts, normally. It is designed to allow all famous patterns of that aircraft (Kiwis, Aussies, Americans, Russians and so on).
As for the P-38, Caspar said the reason, and let's admit it is also a huge piece of work regarding other wips...

Cheers !

Macwan.
