P 39Q and P-400 repaints

[watchdog22]

I am nearly finished repaints for OBIO's reworked Airacobras. One is for a P-400 "Hells Bells" of 67th FS, 347th FG Guadalcanal 1942and a P-39Q of 6th FS, 15th FG 1943. I replaced the underwing .50cal housings with those from Gryphon Aviations Mosquito wepons pack (Originally intended as bomb pylons). I also added a barrel extension to the 20mm nose cannon on the P-400. I have just a bit of tidying up to do and will upload,
Cheers

Watchdog,

Those are simply amazing skins. Looking forward to adding them to my collection.

I have some more skins done, just need to double check that I have the damage textures done then pack them up.

Both repaints are in the upload Queue, maybe a RAAF Cobra next, these had the 20mm cannon but with the 6 exhaust stack arrangement of the D. Any requests?

Well, since you asked Tony....

I had a profile of another similar machine of 23 Sqn in Foliage Green/Earth Brown/Sky with the earlier roundels and its done, I could repaint the underside Sky Blue if you think its more appropriate. I must admit upon reflection that blue would be more in keeping with RAAF regulations of that period, Hmmmm

[Ravenna]

That looks good to me WD, and yes, I agree about the sky blue!

Abbolutly WD, ...bring it on.

Very nice lookin' skin.

Hi,
For any who are interested. I found this as I went back thru some old images I had downloaded from heaven knows where.
They show some details of the P-39Q, including the center line tank and the gun pod.

Hey, I did pretty good putting Dbolt's P-47 drop tank and centerline pylon on the 'Cobra, and I was afeared that I was going way off kilter with it.

Thanks Watchdog. Hells Bells is already in action in my Solomons installation. Outstanding work as always.

[Ravenna]

Just added these WD. They look great!

[watchdog22]

OBIO you did great work on this plane, many thanks from someone who can only paint. More power to you.
The RAAF Cobra will be uploaded in a day or so, I may do a Soviet one next but some of the profiles are SO contradictory - even from the same period there are many interpretations to be had of the same photo.

Sweet paints Watchdog! :applause: Gotta love those shark mouths!!:d

[Jaxon]

Impressive quality, you are producing there!
