This is another request. It's the P-40N which was similar in design to the M model except:
"A new lightweight structure was introduced, two..guns were removed, smaller and lighter undercarriage wheels were installed, head armor was reintroduced, and aluminum radiators and oil coolers were installed. The ..reduction in ..weight, along with use of the same engine in the P-40M, made the P-40N the fastest of the P-40 series."

I guess it looks the same as the M but weights less and so has a better power-to-weight ratio increasing climb rate, acceleration, top speed, etc.
It has only 4 Browning 12.7mm MGs in the wings.
