Title: P-38L 367thFG 392ndFS "Gung Ho"
Post by: oboe on October 01, 2023, 06:02:57 PM

There aren't many P-38Ls as skinning subjects from the ETO, as the majority of the Ls went to Pacific.  "Gung Ho", was flown by Lt Col Edwin Chickering, leader of the 367th Fighter Group, Belgium January 1945.   I've always been partial to the colorful nose art on this one.

Great nose art! All of y’all are really good at that, that’s where I struggle.

You can often trace a photo of the original using layers avs transparency then shrink it down to fit the 3D model.   That's what I often do.
