P-47 D-22 390th FS/366th FG Ardennes Dec 1944
« on: September 12, 2017, 03:04:10 PM »

Hey Guys,

                 I know skins have been done of this Sqdn and Grp before (partnered with the 487th FS of the
                 352nd FG the 390th were at y-29 Asch on the date of Bodenplatte).
                 I don't think anyone has done a skin quite like this...

                 

                 Please note the following...
                 Aircraft is a P-47 Razorback - suggest for P47D-22.
                 1. Cowl , Upper Wing Surfaces , and Cockpit Frame are unpainted metal.
                 2. Lower fuselage appears to be medium grey - landing gear covers appear to be unpainted metal ,
                     suggesting the underwing surfaces (other than remains of D-Day stripes) should also be unpainted metal.
                 3. Cowling has a broad (flat) black stripe encircling it ahead of the cowl flaps.
                 4. Fuselage is OD Green.
                 5. Assume the aircraft has the period version of the reduced D-Day stripes scheme typical of a US
                    9th AF aircraft of the Dec 1944 period - Lower fuselage (below the stars and bars) and under the
                    wings.
                  I am most interested in generic US markings and a blank version  - no Sqdn codes,  personal emblems
                  or kill markings for my purposes (though I am sure other users will love an historically accurate rendering).
                  It looks like this bird has seen some heavy use. While for my purposes a version with light or no wear is fine ,
                  some dirt , stains and paint chipping patches would also seem appropriate.

                  To me this is quite a unique paintscheme - I hope it interests one of you talented skinners out there.

                  PS - There WAS a skin of Magic Carpet , from the pic in question , at M4T , however not in an unmarked version.
               
                  Thanks for all the great work.

;)  Come on, give me a couple of days and I'll prepare you a similar skin, without code numbers and without kills markings ...

 :)    ;)I had a little time and I prepared one without logos and numers, you did not specify if the top of the ailerons was silver or olive-green like the fuselage, if you want I'll make you a silver version .. let me know!
PS the original skin is RedsWinger!
