HTC really is moving in an exciting direction. P38 looks very cool.

I liked this paragraph from combatsim.com

 

The M16 is a WW II half-track that came in various configurations. One of them will be used in Aces High. Vultures take note of the four guns mounted on the back. These are meant for you. This vehicle will be able to tow an artillery piece as well, and you'll be able to bombard an enemy base from a distance with it. In order to counter these units, there is an unspecified tank being introduced as well. These ground units will add in incredible new aspect to the already interesting dynamic of the Aces High arena.

I agree, they've done an excellent job capturing the beauty of the P-38!    Love the extended Fowler flaps!     I guess we have Natedog to thank for a job well done, right?  Kudos, dude!

Looks like it's modeled after Medal of Honor recipient Major Tom McGuire's P-38L, Pudgy (V), an excellent choice.

A good website for info on Tom McGuire is http://www.fla-usa.com/mcguire/  with excellent photos at http://www.fla-usa.com/mcguire/photos.html  .

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Yes Yes Yes...

How does that picture show that?

Looks more like something out of a "Sci-Fi Horror Movie".

I can't see the nose art, but Bong's had his wife/girlfriend on it.  Her name was Marge.

The nose art appears to say PUDGE if this helps the 38 drivers or others to ident her owner   I am sure it is modeled after a very worthy pilot   S!

Gator had it right. it's the PUDGY (V) flown by the Medal of Honor recipient Major Tom McGuire.
and yes tshred, it's the L model and it did have the weights on the elevator. I'm glad everyone likes it so much, I've been working hard on it.
Thanks.
