If someone would do any of these I would appreciate it.

Lyric has some great info on some OD 370th FG 38s; they tended to be really colorful with interesting nose art, if you decide against natural metal.

They also had some very cool 51's as well.

I like that 77th FS 38 skin

The book has some colour pictures as well that are a little unusual as far as colouring goes. In particular the red around the wing root in this example. The aircraft has some art work on the engines as well unfortunately it is not very clear.

Or this one I have always liked it.

IMO the problem with most of those planes is that they're all the same. Sure they may have different noseart, but outside of 100 yards you'll not be able to see that. The colors, tail bands, D-Day stripes, etc, have all been done.

I think that aside from 2 P-38 skins, all of the rest are either bland bare-metal or olive-drab. VERY little variety on these birds. (Pity, that... Much more choice on P51s P47s, etc)

Only the ignorant can't tell the difference.

Wow.... Such a defensive comment!


EDIT: P.S. Lyric your images aren't loading for me. Big blank spaces then little red "X"s.

  Some times the sever that I used for posting pictures takes a dump altogether for a while or try hitting refresh some times that fixes it.

Well my photo sharing host has died so for the benefit of Krusty I will re-post the pics in this thread.

I do like the Scat 2 and 3 for the P38s. Ive always been fond of the invasion stripes. Adds a formidable/intimidating presence to them.
