It is still painted in the same Paint Scheme that you see in the movie. https://planesoffame.org/aircraft/plane-P-40N Quote DISTINCTION The Museum’s P-40 is a World War II Combat Veteran, built in Buffalo, NY, delivered on June 22, 1943, and served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. On March 10, 1945, while being flown by Pilot Officer J. O. Patten, this Kittyhawk Mk. IV destroyed a Japanese “Fu-Go” fire-balloon bomb at 13,500 feet over Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Post-war, the aircraft sold several times to private owners. In Colorado in 1958, after seeding clouds with silver iodide, it experienced a belly landing. It was acquired by the Museum in 1960 and restored in 1980. It flies regularly and has appeared in the films “Pearl Harbor” and “Valkyrie.” It is painted in the markings of the 325th Fighter Group.
