The real D3A1 Pearl Harbour livery flown by Takashige Egusa uploaded!

[kelticheart]

A good day to everybody! :wavey:

I just uploaded the demirrored version of Jaxon's repaint of the D3A1 flown by Ltnt. Cdr. Takashige Egusa, dive bomber Flight Leader of the 2nd wave during the Pearl Harbour attack.

This is the historically correct "BI-231" repaint for Pearl Harbour scenario. I'd suggest anyone who cares for historical details to replace the later green camo "BI-231", I uploaded few days ago, with this skin. The green "BI-231" was flown by Egusa in a different Pacific theatre during 1942.

Enjoy!

Kelti,

Thanks Kelti!

We can make CFS 2 as historically correct as possible with your fine paint jobs.

I read many years ago that these colorful leader liveries were meant to look like the traditional Japanese Koi fish that are often seen in large fountains and ponds. In Japan the Koi fish represent good luck or fortune and in Buddhism they represent courage. I don't know if that's why these planes were painted like they were, but it is an interesting theory.

[Oglivie]

Yes, that is interesting. Thanks for the info, Jagd.

Thank you!:salute:

[Jaxon]

Very interesting Jagd.
Indeed I thought for myself already they look somehow like these Kois.
But I did not know, this was intended.

I've just downloaded this new skin, and it's beautiful. My "Kelti" collection is looking great.

Thanks Kelti,
