W.I.P. P-38L 49th FG "Itsy Bitsy II" flown by Maj George Laven
« on: April 29, 2022, 07:29:16 PM »
George Laven was one of the first to score kills in the P-38. He spent the early part of the war in the Aleutians where he scored 4 kills. Later he served in the South Pacific where he picked up his last kill making him an ace. Although he only had 5 kills he was considered one of the more experienced P-38 drivers in the 5th AF.   He flew with some of the most famous and high scoring P-38 aces of WW2.

Wow,  Oboe, that's fantastic. Darned-near photorealistic as it is.

Think the black and aluminum with minimal color look great together.
