Whatever happened to this popular OD 370th FG P-38 skin?

[oboe]

Wondering where this one went.   Been seeing lots of P-3s in the MA lately and don't recall when this skin went away.

[Krusty]

Too many skins? Rotated out for a while?

I hope not... I'm still waiting for 'Uncle Cy's Angel' to be added.

I'm still not convinced that was a yellow nose 38.  The 370th history has no images of that particular bird.  I have the diecast 38 in that paint, but it's always made me wonder if that was artistic license.

I have a photo of that aircraft at home. I would say it is legit.

lyric,

have you got any info a 370th 38 named "My Little Pig"?   There is a great large scale profile of it at www.markstyling.com but I wonder how accurate it is.

Yes & my profile has the invasion stripes you like .

Thanks lyric - is that from the 370th FG History book?

I like the way they hurriedly removed the invasion stripes - basically just scrubbed off the white stripes, leaving the black ones.   Pretty interesting skin visually.

I found a very old Osprey book with a small blip of info & a profile of this plane.

Damn Lyric, nice photos!

The one with the checkerboard nose looks pretty cool. Then again, Im a sucker for black/white checkerboard noses.

P38 nose is too stretchy for checks.

What dose the umbrellas and broom stand for?  I am guessing the broom mean sweep.
