Sharing some P-38 goodness around, keeps this thread alive...

This looks great I took a break from mission building and will slowly returning to it, have some more missions planned from the Japanese side that I would like to finish before maybe going to the ETO.

Nice shot of the Lightning, John!
I´m still busy over New Guinea

Flippin' 'eck, it that a Sonia you're escorting in the 2nd pic!!!!

This looks promising

It was only uploaded May last year, so no rush then.................

Even carrying those large droptanks, she's looking menacing ...

Damn, those drop tanks are almost as big as the fuselage

Not the usual Payload - a couple of 305 USG tanks for those latewar "ultra" long-range transits ...

 

[Ludo]

Weren't those drop tanks also used as the basis for that "fast ambulance/evac" pod for a wounded man? Or maybe a smaller tank? From pictures I saw this looks scary as hell...

 

[UncleTgt]

Yes, and there's also a version with a glass front for a cameraman - that was used to film some F4U strikes at Okinawa!!!

The photo seems to show one of these pods under the port wing, but nothing at all under the starboard wing. Must have made for interesting trim to hold level flight...

I just discovered that my version 3.5.99 FRAPS does NOT work in Widdows11 anymore with the latest update (thank you very much Micro$oft)! I will try another screensot utility that I have saved and post the results.

cheers:

I’ll admit that when I take screenshots. Just do a screen capture and edit it in paint. Not elegant by any means, but it goes the job done.

CBI P-38J ...

 

[Ludo]

Nice

 

[UncleTgt]

Asymmetric payloads were more common than you think...




... "Vampire Squadron" has a slew of missions out of Stirling from the early/mid-'44 period with one tank & 1 x 500lb bomb as a payload.

 

[UncleTgt]

But sometimes you just want to use rockets ...

 

[Shadow Wolf 07]

Nice, very nice!

 

[skylane]

Never seen this sort of rocket launchers. Were they a field modification?
I like this snake paint scheme!

459th fighter squadron used them against JAP fortifications in Burma during the autumn of '44.

Check out ACWai's P-38 thread for more screenshots of 459th squadron schemes.

The Devil is coming

"Gabelschwanzteufel" is coming soon. Wishing you a Happy New Year! We have just finished building this aircraft. I have just finished painting this paint scheme based on UncleTgt's template. UncleTgt still needs to tune the airfile and tests it in a mission. There are still a lot of work left...
