Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that later block P-40Ns had a different canopy.

Agreed. I think that there's evidence of earlier P-40s carrying rockets, too. In any case, I think it's a common and simple enough field mod to give P-40E and F series planes Soviet, British and/or American bombs and rockets.

US P40s operating in China used the "bazooka" type rocket launcher tubes. This was well after the AVG was merged into the regular Air Corps of course.

Also, the Hawk 75s as used by the Dutch in the Netherlands East Indies should be able to carry a bomb under each wing. KNIL Hawk 75s in the ground attack role successfully bombed a bridge to slow, at least for a short while, the advance of the Japanese in Java.

I disagree with that, Yes the tail might look like a Hawker Hurricane. The engine and the propellars doesn't look like a Spitfire.Also the front of the Avia B-145 model looks more like a Typhoon. But skins doesn't make it look like a Spitfire or a Hurricane.
