And while we are at it - please don't dual use parts of the skin - e. g. the wheel covers of the P-40 use parts of the lower wing - impossible to create one of the most iconic P-40:

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.
