Thank you.   I think Greebo is working on one.

I've no plans to skin a Robin Olds P-38 at present.

Oh, you know what?  I think there may already be one that's an orphan.   I'll check later.

Well, looks like I was mistaken in every aspect regarding Robin Olds' P-38.  There is not one as an orphan after all.   I'll do some research and see what I can come up with.

This is a better representation of the tail color as it is now.  I've added exhaust staining to the fins as well but that isn't in this shot.  I also typoed the title of the thread.   It should read 434th FS not 44th.

Vraciu it looks great.  Thanks for your efforts.  Appreciated. And that goes to all skinners.

BTW I have a book with many pictures of Jugs and drawings from the 56th FG Museum in Halesworth.   Explains the colors in the pics for many are in black and white.  Many individual aircraft flown by 56th Pilots.  It is a large paperback and even has a sheet of decals for actual Jugs in several different sizes. I offered it to Greebo.  LOL he lives in GB which I did not know.  And I imagine there is a multitude of Jug skins already.

If anyone wishes to have this book as a resource for Jugs you can have it.  PM me if you want it.  I'll send it to someone who appreciates it.

It would be cool if we can have the two existing Riddle's Raiders P-38s updated too.

The other two 479th P-38J skins in the game were both done by Oboe but are not up for adoption, so only he can update them.
