1st FG P-38F
« on: January 17, 2009, 06:59:33 PM »

This is Jack Ilfrey's "Texas Terror" from the 94th FS.   Close to done; was hoping I could get it in for the upcoming North Africa scenario.


Jack was a real character and apparently a pirate at heart.   


His crew chief picked on name for the righthand side, named for a serial comic book character.

The 2 38Js I submitted a while ago, DownBeat and Swanee Jr, were both put into the 38J overflow bin, cause all the slots are full.   Not sure if and when they'll make it into the game; I was hoping they would pull my 20th FG 38J and my natural metal finish 80th FS bird to make room for the two new ones.

Very nice!
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Good work on it.  I know a few people keep saying it probabley won't make it in for just the scenario, but I really do hope they're wrong about that.

It must of been a nightmare doing the skull and crossbones on the nose, with all the texture stretching and all.

Nice job!  :aok
