Title: Soviet P-39s
Post by: mm on March 28, 2016, 07:27:41 AM

Skins for P-39N/Q VVS:

http://www.mi-psi.eu/cs/p-39.html (http://www.mi-psi.eu/cs/p-39.html)

Downloads for three blade propellers versions contains files for planes with wing guns (N1) and underwing guns (Q-1). Both (US) versions are inaccurate, because Soviet Airacobras had no wing guns. Correct versions of these planes used to be here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,5283.0.html (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,5283.0.html) but link is now dead (I suppose Q-1 version of my skins could work with it).

Great skin art MM !  8)
Some of the greatest flying aces flew these airplanes. They would have been
proud to see these beautiful skins of their aircraft!

Thank you for nice skins.
But "Soviet Airacobras had no wing guns" is controversial statement. Yes, wing armament was removed upon arrival to USSR or before the departure from USA, - from most P-39s, but not from all. There are photos of Soviet Airacobras witn wing MGs still on.

Yes, you are right. The sentence should be "Soviet Airacobras usually had no wing guns"  :)

Hi! Nice skins, but one question, what do you mean the soviet P-39 didn't had wing guns?

Title: Re: Soviet P-39s
Post by: steven197106 on April 01, 2016, 05:30:54 PM

As soon as the p-39 where  delivered from the USA they had there   30 'cal wing guns  removed  for better roll rate, you won't find any p-39 with wing guns in Russia. Crazyflak was working  on a p-39 pack with wing gun's  removed.

See Dimlee's post, above. The operative word is "usually." See also this page:

http://www.mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lendlease/p-39/misos/general.html

Scroll down to the section titled "P-39 WEAPONS." There are photos of two VVS P-39s with wing guns. They're most visible on Pokryshkin's P-39N, but gun barrels, and shadows cast by them, are marked in red.

As mentioned above...
It was a bit more complicated. Wing guns were removed, indeed, from many (most) P-39s either on arrival to USSR or before departure from USA. But there is evidence (incl.pictures) of P-39s with wing guns operated in VVS. For example, at least 2 Airacobra aces used such aircrafts for certain periods: Pokryshkin and Rechkalov.

OK, guys helped with colors:
First until 1942

Second  until 1943

(http://forum.aviaskins.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=41773&d=1471600753)

So, now needs to find the serial numbers of personal crafts - voila.

Second vers of 21s skin.
So, now it is possible to choose the version that has been historically, depending on the date of issue Shikunov's aircraft.  D/L for testing at post below.
