FSX Curtiss P-40Q With New Panels. The Curtiss P-40Q was an experimental project which attempted to produce a really modern fighter out of the existing P40. The modifications were in fact so drastic that there was very little in common with earlier P-40 versions. The most prominent XP-40Q feature was the cutting down of the rear fuselage and the addition of a bubble canopy as on the "XP-40N". The result was an aircraft which bore almost no resemblance whatsoever to its parent P-40 line. The V-1710-121 engine was fitted with water injection, resulting in a power of 1425 hp. Speed increased to 422 mph at 20,500 feet, making it the fastest of all the P-40s. This is Tim Conrad's model with revised and enhanced panels compliant for FSX/P3D.3. Smoke added.
