I see. I believe that the actual P-40's engine did not turn, though.
The rotary engines where the entire engine turned were common in WWI,
but not WWII.
It would be tricky to get the same visual design without having the
engine rotate though. You would probably have to use macaroni bricks
instead of the 4x4 cylinder.
