Potential P-39Q skin request?
« on: December 22, 2008, 11:31:20 PM »
I came across this P-39, but all the links are to modeling websites.  She is "Devastating Devil" of the 48th FS, 15th FG, 7th AF, Makin Island, autumn 1943 into 44.  It was a pretty unique paint scheme, so I thought I'd throw it up here and see what the experts say.  I'll keep trying to dig up info, but I'd appreciate any help someone may give.

"US Marines recaptured Makin Island in the Gilbert Islands chain in the Fall of 1943 and immediately built an airbase. It became the home base for the 15th FG, 46th FS and their P-39s on December 18, 1943. The "Devastating Devil" pinkish sand paint scheme definitely was a stand out among all the greens. This P-39 was painted with the intention of it going to North Africa but it managed to find its way into the PTO. As well as escorts for the Makin A-24s on their bombing raids the P-39s bombed and strafed ground targets."

Didn't realize there was nose art. I'll have to do the other side.

My apologies for the original posts.  In the pics of the models it's bright orange.  I didn't realize we had it (don't fly it) and the in-game skin is probably closer to the real clor.
