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.

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.
