One fully marked P-40N-1 skin (plus one unmarked generic) of NZ3148, coded G "Gloria Lyons" of No.4 SU, RNZAF based at Ondonga, New Georgia in the Solomon Islands. 
To be used on the stock P-40M. 

Place these skins in: \IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\PaintSchemes\Skins\P-40M

The P-40N-1 was the fastest of the production type P-40s and was essentially a low weight version. It retained the earlier style of canopy and fuselage behind 
the cockpit (the glass-house style canopy was introduced on the N-5) and although all N-1s were produced with four .50cal heavy machine guns, almost all were 
converted to have six guns at unit level. Hence the N-1 was often very difficult to distinguish from the M.

Two armourers of No.4 SU (Servicing Unit) at Ondonga, New Georgia were pen-pals with a young lady named Gloria Lyons who was a tuberculosis patient at 
Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand and it was decided to adopt her as something of a unit mascot.As No.4 SU aircraft were coded with letters rather than 
numbers, NZ3148 'G' was selected to be named 'Gloria Lyons' and was the first of four aircraft (three P-40s and a F4U-1A) to wear that name. NZ3148 was 
written off after its engine failed during landing on the 9th of February 1944 although the pilot (Flying Officer Charlie Woods) was unharmed. Interestingly, 
F.O Woods was also piloting the second 'Gloria Lyons' (P-40N-5 NZ3167) when that was lost two weeks later... Woods bailed out when, after returning to base, 
he was unable to land due to flack damage.

Template and skins by myself, HBPencil. It is a reworked version of a P-40N (mod) template I made some time ago so although the vast majority of the work is mine 
there are some elements from the P-40M void file, namely small bits of the mech/internals as my own attempts to improve on them had negligible results.
