P-61 Black Widow - Burma/Pacific
« on: February 28, 2013, 11:50:36 AM »
I haven't seen many skins of the Pacific theater.  My specific interest is the 427th NFS based in Burma.  I have not done much research yet and do not know what their planes looked like. 
If anyone knows or has an idea of what they looked like then it would be good to have a skin(s) of that squadron. 

I also found a nice dark olive drab pic here:  http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/775/pics/3_4.jpg
I don't think there are any olive skins yet.

Which begs the question: for which P-61 mod do you want it?

There are 2 different Il2 models flying around with entirely different mapping... one pair A/B included in HSFX6, and another pair A/B as standalone mod here at SAS.

So depending on your answer, yes, there is an PTO olive drab skins by Harpia Maphra.

On my thread over at A&A, I have a few of the 426th/27th.

They were black, 427th birds had no top turret as far as I can tell.
Hope this helps.
Regards Duggy.

Good stuff!  I have the SAS version so I would need skins for that.  If Duggy says the 427th's were black with no top turret then I guess it would be the "B" model to skin.  BTW, very nice photos Duggy.  Many I have not seen before and the colored ones are outstanding!

I just need to know which photos are of the 427th's and if someone could make a skin of it.

When you scroll down you will see two just delivered on a dock ( Bombay), the two below are 427th,Right click & save photo as and all will be revealed.
Nearer the bottom are some 426th birds lined up ( with turret) taken at the end of the war ready for scrapping in India.

thanks Duggy.  You're right, by right-clicking+save you can see the description of photos.
Now, only if someone could make a skin or two of those 427th's birds  ;)
