Lt. Welch, of the 47th Pursuit Squadron, was one of the few American pilots able to take off and engage the Japanese attackers of Pearl Harbor. He shot down 2 Vals and one Zero and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the USAAF for his actions.

This and the RAF Tomahawk are great skins Devil, the weathering and shading are excellent.

Once again, great job.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Nice one, Devil. Don't fly the P-40 other than in events but if I get the chance to fly this model I'll take this skin not just because it's yours but because George Welch is from my hometown, Wilmington, Delaware. He also flew with the 80th FS in a P-38.

Thanks.  :salute

By the way, It has been offered to me, but I turned it down. My time for skinning is limited, so I chose to focus on a select few airframes. Eventually, I'll get in with the team.
