"FOTO JO" Armed recon P-38.

[Volron]

Yes, only armed recon planes are allowed.

I have an armed recon P-40C in RAF colors in game.

Then this means the one lyric posted is good to go.

Few more images.

How is it there are more pics of this P-38 than John Godfrey's original P-51B or Hively's P-51D?

Is there something I'm missing?

Yes two of them are mounted on the nose of the plane.
Because this thing had machine guns within the recon community this would be a extremely rare thing.
So everyone took photos of it.

Also remember that an immeasurable number of photos taken during the war have been lost or forgotten. We only have access to what has been published over the years.

[Vraciu]

Yeah, but Godfrey in particular was a prominent figure.   His plane should be in newspaper archives or SOMETHING.   Hively's, too, considering its uniqueness.

How are there no known pictures of Hans Joachim Marsille's Bf 109G? He got the first one! And he is a much more notable pilot.

Because the Germans lost badly (a lot of their stuff simply sank, disappeared, or burned up)--and America was press crazy.    Every hometown boy had his airplane in the local paper in the US. 

For Godfrey's airplane to have no pictures while this 38 has a dozen is odd to me.

[Devil 505]

You obviously don't realize that Marsille was a proverbial rock star in 1942. Every paper in the Reich had pictures of him.

All of his 109F's are well documented, but any pictures of the first Gustav in combat have been lost to time. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anybody.

[Vraciu]

Who doesn't realize that?  Lol

And you make my point.   

Marseille's Fs were well documented as they served a purpose.   The G perhaps not so much by that time.    Yet, despite being lauded by none other than Churchill and being the top scoring duo in the USA Godfrey's airplane is almost unseen...but an obscure Indian Theater 38 is everywhere.   It's interesting...

Wonder what was going on here with the paint?

[Vraciu]

Shadow?

I presume this goes on the P-38G as a substitute, correct?

Yes the only P-38 we have with that style of engine nacelle.

Is the green OD or more along that lines of that snake green in the stuff you posted?

Also, I noticed a lot of stretching on the nose.  Is this an older 3D model?   Maybe I should keep my powder dry until it's updated if that's the case.
