I believe Oleg & co. were aware of the errors in the P-40E/M 3D models but never had the time to fix them due to the development of Pacific Fighters first, and then Storm of War later. Development screens of DT patch 4.10 have shown (Ju88, Bf110G, G.50, etc) that they do these sort of fixes. Hopefully they can find time in their busy schedules to give the P-40E/M (and possibly add the most-produced P-40N while they're at it) some love. May I also add that the landing gear of the P-40s seem a little bit duck toed? I haven't had time to really examine them closely, but they seem to be twisted slightly outwards in the extended position. Perhaps the animation can be tweaked at some point.

Ah, K that's right I forgot that the P-40 was one of the original Il2 planes, thanks.
