346th FS P-47D Chickenbones
« on: May 16, 2012, 04:46:08 AM »
Ranger requested this 350th FG, 346th FS skin of a P-47D-28 based in northern Italy in 1945. I have skinned it as a D-40 rather than a D-25 as the fin fillet makes it a closer visual match.

While flying this aircraft Lt. Charles C. Eddy shot down two Italian flown Me 109Gs in head on attacks during March and April. Photos of this and other 346th aircraft can be found here.

Thank you guys. My P-47 templates were originally done in 2048 res, I used to create the bmps and shrink them 50%. I later realised this was a mistake as it made things like sharp edged lines, panel lines and rivets really blurry. So later I converted the P-47 templates and more recently my B-24 template to 1024 res. This meant lots of tedious hand editing of blurred lines and a complete redo of all the rivets on the B-24. I intend to redo the older of my B-24 and P-47 skins and bring them up to the new standard at some point.
