P-47D-11 Skin Request
« on: July 17, 2008, 12:26:48 AM »
We are looking for someone to do a skin of one of our Squad's historical aircraft. Any help on this project would be greatly appreciated.   :aok
Please contact our squad our PM me if you would like to help us out with this project.   :salute

It's a P-47D-5 Razorback  "White 83" flown by Major Jerry Johnson 9th FS/49th FG out of Gusap, New Guinea circa Jan. 1944.

Roger, you have 6 D11 skins in game, why not look at one of them which might not be flown alot and ask HTC to replace it with this skin.  A skin by a squadron in game is sure to get more flight time than just a random D11 skin.

Dunno, just an idea, I have done it in the past myself.

Wonder if HTC keeps stats on how oftern each skin is used - seems like info they would be able to have access to if they chose to collect it.

DON'T DELETE IT!   :O

Larry has told HTC to pull all his skins and that he wouldn't be working on anymore.

That's why we were looking for someone to do it for us - he pulled out on making it for us after he got PNG'ed by HTC.

Hey Roger,

A few Notes on the 49th FG Jugg:

1. Pilots name above the kill markings was listed as:  Major G.R. Johnson  (cs)
2. Not sure the ailerons were white on top, no other PTO birds with that kind of recognition markings of the time where - BUT - I can't find a pic to prove or disprove they were.

I don't believe the ailerons were white.  I think it's the angle of the aileron in the photo it's taken from.  It's edge on and looks lighter.

From what I have read they were on the Flight Leaders aircraft - underneath as in the profile, just not sure if on the upper surfaces.
Lot of this is implied though - no "Real" photos to back it up unfortunately.

Lots of photographic proof the wing leading edges are white colored though - similar in the way the RAF painted theirs as a recognition signal.

No question about the white leading edges. That was standard ID markings on the 40s, 39s and 47s at that point. I think any of the single engine fighters USAAF, RAAF etc were so marked.

Thankfully the 38s didn't get them :)
