I suggest a less subtle appearance for the rudder seam and the brownish blur of the panel lines.

Lovely looking skins. :aok

White 100 was the P-39 ride of Alexander Pokryshkin who scored 59 kills and is one of the top scoring Allied aces of World War II. He also won the Hero of the Soviet Union award 3 times; only three people have one the HSU three times.



Only problem is, White 100 was a P-39N. Can it be skinned on a P-39Q?

Edited:
Very nice P-39 skins, Fencer

N/Q main difference is only the change from 4x 30cal internal wing guns to 2x 50cal underwing gondola guns. Reports indicate many Soviet units removed the wing guns anyways (so fly the Q without wing guns to simulate this "N", is my suggestion)
