April 24th, 1938
A nervous sabertooth wolf performs his final checks in his Curtiss P-36A Hawk as the rain pours down. His first time flying in such poor weather conditions, he waits for the signal flare giving him clearance to take off into the soup. Having just graduated from primary training to air combat training, the wolf has yet to cut his teeth in any real action....let alone training against an instructor...
One I'd been workin on for awhile, never attempted a raining scene before...think I did alright. Wanted to try something of Shinden's past, so I guess this would be him as a green recruit going through training

thanks!
yup, one of those airplanes that got a worse reputation than it really deserved. French did fairly well with it, and the Fins used them up to 1944 against La-5s and still won (though Russian pilot quality played a part too). The British also discovered it could out turn not only the Ki-43, but the Ki-27 as well....the P-40's big Allison engine was just to heavy to crank it around that quick heh
