NA-68 markings as painted for delivery to Siam/Thailand.
 

After being taken on charge as the P-64. Insignia is replaced with US marking and bottom is painted gray.

The plane can be done with or without guns in this scheme.
 
Mid-war paint scheme with stars and bars with red surround. Notice also that a yellow serial has been added on the tail and an aircraft number is painted on the nose.
 

Late war scheme in natural metal. By this time, the cowling has been modified. The fairings for the guns are removed and the carburetor intake is extended forward for the length of the cowling.
 

The surviving P-64 post-war when owned by Phoenix Aviation. NX number is also on the rudder.

 

The surviving P-64 was sold to an owner in Mexico.
 

P-64 as painted when returned from Mexico in the late 50's.
  This scheme is probably a result of my poor memory or bad color reproduction. If the plane was painted like this, it had to be for a short period between its return from Mexico and 1962.
 

The P-64 as painted in 1962 and as it remains today at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh.
