actually, there are several differences between the E and F/L models of the P-40...
The most obvious is the absence of the carb scoop, but there is also the chin scoop (shape was changed pretty drastically), the rear fuselage (except on the early Fs, it was lengthened, similar to the M), the L was the same as the F, but lightened by the removal of some armor and two wing guns. I'd post a comparison, but I don't have my resources available at the moment.
*The -K and -N models would also be extremely worthwhile projects...
