Title: Skin Request: George Preddy
Post by: perdue3 on June 03, 2020, 11:55:42 AM: Now that the skin limit has been increased to 64, I have some requests. As a North Carolinian, I am a pretty big fanboy of Maj. George Preddy. We currently have one of his P-51D's (Cripes A'Mighty 3rd) and his P-40E (Tarheel). My first request is for his P-47 (P-47D-5-RE, s/n 42-8500, HO*P "Cripes A'Mighty").

Next, is Preddy's P-51B (P-51B, s/n 42-106451, HO*P "Cripes A'Mighty). It features full invasion stripes plus the usual blue nose of 352nd.

I know the latter two are decal sheets, but it gives you a good idea of what the font and color of said font is on the nose. If more information is needed, let me know. I am sure I can dig something up, although lyric may can do it faster.

Thanks to anyone who is willing.

:cheers:

I've waited this long. Thanks.

Remind me again in a couple of weeks.

I can probably get it done pretty fast once I get these off my plate.

Take your time, I'd rather it be perfect than hastily cobbled together.

Well, you saw how fast I did "TUSKEGEE AIRMEN"/"By ReQuest" and I am hoping it didn't look cobbled together. That was way more work than doing your B will entail. No sweat.
