I don’t like cheesy paint jobs but, that looks cool.

Meh. I could go either way. But if the job had meaning like a personal story of a relatives service meaning then i get it.

Interesting paint job.

The olive drab is obviously Army Air Corps of the day, though the Grey and red "crimson" accents are P51 Mustang the Shark Maw is from the Curtis P40 Warhawk made famous by the Flying Tigers dubbed the "Tiger Shark" a pretty stout little plane in it's day. :cool:

paint job reminds me of our Airplanes circa WW2. very cool.

The Tiger Shark is my favorite plane of all time with the Corsair close behind.

Almost everything is from the American Volunteer Group ("Flying Tigers") P40 scheme below except the star. The AVG used Republic of China insignia (12 pointed) instead of the American 5 pointed star.
