Sweet! I've got the FS9 version and I can vouch for it being a great little flyer
10 Euro is a bargain, plenty of repaints out there for it as well...

Yeah, but didn't the Iris P-40 originally come with RNZAF-schemed P-40E and P-40N anyway? But yeah, Wairarapa Wildcat would be great to have in FS. Repaint opportunity?
BTW nice to see Bobby Gibbes' P-40E finally represented in FS! NOTE: this colour scheme (codes CV-V) is also worn by the late Col Pay's airworthy Kittyhawk in Australia.

Yea Wairarapa Wildcat would be great - my dad built a 1/6th scale RC model of it - must post a pic when I get a chance.

Is it the FS9 model, ported over to FSX?
Good chance the paints will work...

No, it is a new FSX only model.
If you point me toward some good pics, I can try doing a repaint if you like?
