475th FG early P-38 question
« on: March 10, 2005, 12:57:45 PM »
Anybody know if the 475th operated Fs,Gs, and Hs together?

Would a skin for P-38H "Impossible Ince" pass the criteria for going a H subtype skin on the G model P-38?

This green drab skin has yellow-striped prop spinners and tails.   Might be a nice complement to the trim colors for the current 38G skins...

I have kindof abandoned "Sad Sack" for now because I just couldn't get the nose art to look correct.

As near as I can tell from the 475th history, they really got going on Hs, with some Gs early for the transition/work up time.

That being said, the time frame is the same as the other 5th AF P38 groups operating F,G, Hs together so I'd think it would be ok

Just noticed Kev367th has a 475th 38G skin.    Think it is a true 'G' or an 'H' on the G model?

I doublechecked with Skuzzy and he thought Ince's H would be OK with Pyro.

Here's what I have so far, it's pretty close to finished unless you guys find somethign wrong:
