81st F/G P-39 P-400
« on: December 28, 2017, 05:09:03 AM »
Since every P-39 skin in game suffers from the sugar glazed doughnut appearance,plus all skins from what I have read that have this problem they will have to be updated at some point. So while I was looking for tank info in North Africa I found this crashed P-39 photo. Not sure of what camouflage it has but it looks from what little I see to have at least three upper colours visible around the tail maybe similar to the colour photo below? Operation Torch roundel and English serial number and then whats left of a large #17 on the tail.

"20 Feb 43    BX198 P-400 81FG 12AF   Thought to be an 81FG plane, Lost during Battle of Sidi bou Zid, Kasserine Pass A handful of Northwest African Air Force P-39s strafed trucks and half-tracks in the Kasserine area as the Germans broke through and thrust north and west toward Thala and Tebessa."

Only other info I have at this point is these other P-39s with Torch markings and English serial number.
