Nice find on the photos Lyric1. A bit blurry to be ideal but Il think there is enough info to go on for me to make a skin.Given and the doubts about the pathfinder nose and snow coverage vs NMF I don't think the second photo can really be relied on as a good source. The only real issue for me anyway on the first photo is the vertical tail colour. The standard scheme for a 95th FS is red for the outer horizontal and vertical tail surfaces with the second code letter or number in white repeated on the outer vertical tails. However I think the dark smudge on the extreme right of the photo is likely the shadow thrown by the horizontal tail and there's not enough vertical tail showing above the boom to tell one way of the other. If the tail was NMF then I would expect the factory airframe code to still be painted on it and as I don't know that code then red with a white "4" would be my preference. So I'll likely skin it that way unless better info can be found.
I did some research and learned the 82nd FG handled aircraft ID codes somewhat differently, having "A" "B" and "C" squad codes followed by an ID character to identify the aircraft within the squad...
This is the plane he is talking about.https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,317573.msg4129708.html#msg4129708(Image removed from quote.)Has to be the same plane? Solid painted red tail from what is visible where the snow has come away and just the very edge of the tail in the non Winter photo is also solid red. Solid colour tail it has to be #4.(Image removed from quote.)
