EAW P40C / Tomahawk of the American Volunteer Group at Mandalay, Burma, December 1941 -January 1942.

Skin modified by Damir P. Fillen to obtain aircraft coded "93" serial P-8187, of the 3rd Pursuit Squadron "Hell's Angels" of the AVG.


Skin originally done by Captain Kurt, (aircraft coded "77" AVG), to whom I'm very grateful.

I redone it only for the Typhoon slot, as it is the only slot in the Ecapannel that allows the use of the Tomahawk (P-40C).

enjoy !

Here the original "Read me" file by Captain Kurt:

It is intended For use with Charles Gunst's ECA (Enemy Coast Ahead) Panel. It can use the Hurricane, Typhoon, or P51B slot, and the markings are designed to use in the Burma Campaign by SDaly. To use, choose the folder for the slot you want to use, unzip the *.tpc files, and the *.3dz files then place in your EAW directory.

I developed a completely re-designed 3DZ model version of a wireframe of the P40 from Microprose's "1942: Pacific Air War" which brings it up to EAW standards. This was a difficult wireframe model to re-do. The only parts that I did not change was the gear retraction model and the pitot tube. The skin is also by me.

This has been something of a community project, in the best spirit of the great EAW community.

It is completely non-mirrored, courtesy of Rob Der Fuchs work. He contributed his solution to this and I was able to incorporate most of what he did. The entire fuselage and the insignia areas of the wings are separate.

Capitan Manducas work for the landing gear doors and pitot tube was also used and incorporated into the new model.

Claudio Wilches has made the cockpit for this plane, with completely new interior and wing views. Claudio also built the non mirrored view for the medium distance model and fixed a 3DZ problem with the cockpit height.

I would also like to thank Alessandro Borges for his 3DZ!Studio and 3DZ converter tools. Without these I could do nothing like this. And finally, I understand that the Woolfman was responsible for first adding an EAW prop and transparency to the PAW model. 

Thanks, boys.

And as always, this model has an unmarked PCX included for anyone to add their own markings, with blessings from me.


Cheers,

Captain Kurt
