Guppy's guys need some 38 skins, I have never done one but am taking a shot at it. This is just the PL/Rivets with aluminum and some basic colors, I need to research weathering and leaks.

Lots of dirty brown exhaust from the turbos going back to the tail and across the black square. I'll post some photos of the look when I get home.

Anti-glare would be OD green. can't tell if you have it black.

Thanks for taking it on Fencer.

Amen on that one. It's not historical, it's not even remotely accurate. How that one got in, I have no idea

How many 474th skins are needed? Are there pics of the desired skins posted somewhere?

Fester, your 361st P-51D is I think the best skin I have seen in the game yet.

Just two skins for the 474th a J and an L. Not sure how far Fencer got.

I've got the photos and profiles.

It takes time to skin bombers, update today possibly. My P-38 resources are low. Fortunately I have "Bombers of the 9th AF" and "Tricycles and Truck Sticks".

PM me your photos Guppy, all I have are your profiles..

Update. Need to add scratches and work on that exhaust some more.

Guppy, if you want that J as well, best get someone else to do it. I am not going to have time.

At least its a historically accurate black P-38

Kinda looks lie "Itsy Bitsy- the ETO Years"

Oh and Guppy clean out your PM box.

Looks great. Can't wait to send a shot of it to the real pilot

You want to take a crack at the J Oboe? This is one I'd showed you a long time ago.

Found out after I did the profile that the pilot was Lt. Robert Rankin.
Crew Chief is my favorite fictional one, T/S B. Parttes and his assistant T/S F. Gunz

Fencer, this is the photo I got of Lloyd Wenzel's bird from Mr Wenzel.

Photo of a 474th bird in flight. Not the biggest scan but you can see the exhaust goes back across the tail on both sides.

Another of a 370th bird showing how dirty those 9th AF 38s got
