P-38J 82FG/95FS "Joanie"
« on: July 29, 2011, 10:11:20 PM »
Here's one from the 82nd FG 95th FS as seen in Foggia, Italy in 1944. There wasn't any way I could say no to those sharkmouths. Anyone ever see sharkmouths larger than this on a 38?

Seeing a few things I want to change (you always see them after you've gone through the trouble taking of the screenshots and posting), but here's the general idea.

 :O The shading along your rivet lines is fantastic!    It'll be very popular!   I thnk she's missing the bottom front teeth in her smile though!

Cactus have you thought about a 1st FG J/L?   They have color-coded booms - and I think the 94thPS has  w/ black trim which woud look very nice in the low specularity scheme you use - had one a while back with a yellow/black checked nose and 8-ball art on the nacelle panels - was never submitted.

Fantastic work, cactus! Like Oboe had mentioned, be sure to adjust the shark mouths on the engine nacelles as they are missing a few teeth.

Isn't cannon the lower middle one? Looks like one of the .50s that's missing.

Beautiful job as always, Cactus!
