WTH that's not a Navy plane. W.I.P.:



Anybody have a good photo of the rear canopy deck for P-39/P-400?

Wow, very nice baby !

[WarWolfe]

My first thought was, "is that a fake Ronnco posting here"?

I think you've done great with her! I really like the Early P-39s great plane to fly once you get past the toruqe issue of a mid mounted motor.

Nice stuff Ronnco, being that I did the Target Rabaul P-400/P-39 skins I can see you did your research!
One thing about colors. Although I never found anything definitive, I believe that the planes in British camouflage would have had British interior green parts rather than US green. From what I read, these planes were done with 100% British spec paint. They were painted from the beginning as British planes, not standard US planes with British external camouflage. Of course there were color interpretation problems at Dupont, mostly with the dark earth and sky colors
Anyway, no matter which way you go, the interior color is something to think about

I wasn't real sure about which shade of interior green was correct either. I did find this page at IPMS to be a great help.
