Still have not heard anything
Wasn't 75 the one that Park got shot up in during the Moresby raid?  Had to tell 75'a pilot that they had to junk her.  That was a P400
I don't know. Park's.. Nanette was #74 or #76 I think.

What I was talking about with the white tail and Snumbers  41st P39n-5 #72 V 42-18815




Here is profile of #95 S 42-18805

Nanette was 74, but Park flew 75 one day and ended up getting it all shot up. SISU is a 400 and is supposed to be #75. Perhaps Kyro can thank Park for the end of his plane. :)

This one shows the edge of the 5 on Flying Finn.

Wish I could. I like the D better too, but I think a N model has to go on the Q.

Are you sure about that, Cactus?   IIRC the N has same wing armament as the D; Q was the first switch to .50 cal underwing pods.  Not sure about all up weight changes or engine hp though.

Here is a nice shot of that plane.

Notice the tail, prophub, the thickness of the ring around the eye and the letter font.

LOL the danger of books with lousy proof readers.  Lt. Robert Rutt, is really Lt. Norbert Ruff :)  He had 4 kills in 38s.  His 38 was known as "Ruff Stuff" and while it was a 38G, it's the paint scheme on a restored P38L based in Minnesota.  Ruff was from Wisconsin and a friend of the guys restoring the 38 who did it in his honor.  He passed away a couple years ago.

Not 100%. That's the impression I got after searching through some older threads.

I believe the N has the same engine as the Q, but the same armament as the earlier models. Kind of dead in between the D and the Q.

Anyone know for sure?

All I know is the link you posted says it's a N. http://www.aerothentic.com/photos/noseart/P39s/p39flyingfinn.htm I think I would need some more proof/pictures before I could submit it as something else.

The changes made in the N were incorporated into the Q. They're essentially the same plane with the same performance and capabilities. The only (major) difference being the outboard guns. But this doesn't matter much since most Soviet pilots had those removed anyways.


I'd love to see the .30 outboard guns on the P-39Q in-game, just to fill-in for the M/N models. That, and I'd love to ping the heck outta folks after my taters are gone!

All the same a nice shot of the plane its a p-400

I believe there were other minor differences that set the K apart (possible a different prop, different engine rating -- I'd have to check to be sure)

was there every a p39 model that had the performance of the Q model but had the 20mm gun option instead of the 37mm like the D model has?
