A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military skins - World War II
Description: A skin for Milton Shupe's P-70 Nighthawk. This P-70A-1 was converted at the U.S. Army depot in Brisbane, Australia. The camouflage scheme is authentic, but the unit assignment is speculative. If it was sent to a combat unit that would have been the 6th NFS, the only Army night fighter unit in the Pacific at the time, with detachments on Guadalcanal and New Guinea. It wears the camouflage scheme unique to Brisbane-built P-70A-1's, with only the cowlings and the neutral gray under-surfaces sprayed in flat black, with the rest of the plane left in the original olive drab. Brisbane only converted a dozen P-70A-1's and there don't seem to be any photos of them at the operational bases.
Individual aircraft markings by Mick over base textures by "SteveB," which I believe was made with the help of the paint kit by "Wellis."
