57th FG, 65th FS OD '47's Bubbletops
« on: December 11, 2014, 09:16:26 AM »
Howdy all!

Looking to get into the skinning game. Was looking at trying to do one for the upcoming scenario. I have free time off from college so thought I'd give it a go. Want to do a 65th FS skin to fly in January. There are a ton of great pics of their bare metal jugs, but not so many of the OD ones. Hoping some of you wiser skinners/researches could help me out here. This is what I have found.

So the one I'm finding the most info for is #54 "Norma/Little Bunny". According to what I have found, it was flown between two pilots. The first had Norma on one side and Little Bunny on the other. The second pilot later changed it to have Norma on both. Don't know how accurate this is.









Here's a good shot of the squadron nose art



Another OD jug. All I could find so far.



And another in color. Can't make out what it says under the canopy though...



Sadly my search is limited to my google-fu. Any help from you experts would be appreciated!  :cheers:
