Artist Pierre Drolet has done some amazing work for the industry, including this evolutionary piece… the WWII Viper! I love it!!
We needed a retro Viper for the virtual world and I came up with this aircraft. Yes, it is a P-40 turned to a WWII Viper. I thought it would look cool and I did it just for the fun of it.

From this WWII Viper, I did the Viper fighter jet version and kept the same idea for some kind of evolution between both of them. Pierre
