Title: P-38J 370thFG 385thFS Lt Jack Jarrell "My Little Pig"
Post by: oboe on April 05, 2022, 10:56:59 PM

Still a work-in-progress but getting close enough to show.   I've got some layer-balancing issues and some spec and power adjustments to make but all the pieces are pretty much here.   I spent a lot of time trying to get the spark plug blast tubes to look right, and getting the landing gear oleo strut piston to look like chrome steel. 

"MY Little Pig" was flown by Lt Jack Jarrell, Jr of the 370th FG, 485th FS.  Jack was hit in a dogfight on 14 Dec 1944 and bailed out.  He remains missing in action.   This skin is a recreation of one of my old P-38J skins that were lost when the new 3D model of the Lightning was released.

It looks excellent Oboe, really well done. If you finish it before Hitech does the skins processing, submit it, let me know and I will approve it for the current batch.

Looks really nice.  The colors are toned down just right I think.
