p-400 was the export version with a 20mm gun in the nose. I don't recall
what other mods there were to it.

ISTR it was the version produced for export, but in a (Martin Caidin?)
book I read one of the pilots joked it was a P-40 with a Zero on its
tail... ;-)

It was the export version, with Britt camo and serial #'s....many were put
together from shipping boxes in SWPA and flown alongside the P-39's....By
the 40th FS....check the 40th web site, Carlos Danacher, if he is still with
us, has written a small book about those frantic days....cc

Is AMTech still around?  That P-400 announcement is a couple years old.

: Is AMTech still around?  That P-400 announcement is a couple years old.

    According to a vendor at the US Nats, one of the
  principals of AMTech suffered a life threatening accident
  about the time that AMTech effectively shrank from public
  view.
