SNAZZY!!! :aok
The 49'ers are HIGHLY Pleased Sir! :salute

Those spinners OK, Jester? I started with ANA Flag Red, and dialled down the saturation and opacity, and increased the brightness a bit to get this.

She couldn't look Sharper. :aok
You have outdone yourself once again old Friend. :salute

Shouldn't that 49th FG skin be more bullet ridden and burnt? :devil
-
I'll let Jester and Shifty and crew add those touches... :D

Nah, you're thinking of the 80th FG - their's are the ones always pranged around the airfield. :D
The 49th's Lightnings are the ones with all the German Kill Markings on them. ;)

German kill markings? Did you guys hook up with Wrongway again? :lol

Someone needs a map and a compass. :D

I just submitted this skin to HTC.
Some background accompanied one of the b&w photos provided by Jester:
P-38G-13 43-2402 "Beautiful Lass"/White 99 of Lt John G O'Neill, 49th FG/9th FS, Dobodura, autumn 1943. Capt. O'Neill flew several camouflaged P-38s. This one had the nude as a pink girl with blonde hair and black shoes. The name was in white. The victory scoreboard carried 8 aircraft silhouettes as victory markings instead of the usual Japanase flags.
Best wishes to the 49ers. Hope she makes it in and serves you guys well.

Thanks Again Sir! She is a Beauty! :salute

The heck with medals. Send booze to the 80th FS Headhunters officer's club. It would be much more appreciated :)
-
That was kinda a "unspoken" extra that went along with the medal.
Oboe has a RESERVED seat at the 49th FG "Bar and Grill" anytime he wants to claim it. :aok

Thanks Oboe, you've always been one of the class acts in this sim.

Oh, I don't know about that. But you're all welcome, guys. I'm real glad you all like her. I just hope she flies true and shoots straight. I thought she turned out pretty well, and I hope she makes it into AH and I see alot of guys flying her.
Crown Royal, a medal and a seat at the 49ers Bar and Grill. Can't top that!
I have found I linger a lot longer on my preflight walkaround with this bird, for some reason....
