POOR YANK gets the chop for pissing off the GRRRR-MANS in his Jug huh ?  Meanwhile FO Smedley Featherstone gets away unscathed in his Typhy back to the mess.

 

 I see how you roll Rap !!!!!    ?:hunter:

This Jug has a very terrifying monster plane look ...but it is a huge fuel tank, very susceptible to "catching" flame (into great ball of fire) in every "even" dogfight 

( If it's speed and numerical superiority doesn't prevent a classic dogfight )

Yeah but the pilot of the Tempest was none other than Randy Strongberger, film-star, sports hero and, most of all, American!!

P-47D-28

Based on a D-25 model, this is Francis 'Gabby' Gabreski's mount in July of 1944, based at Boxted, England.
Francis Stanley "Gabby" Gabreski (born Franciszek Stanisław Gabryszewski, January 28, 1919 – January 31, 2002) was a Polish-American career pilot in the United States Air Force who retired as a colonel after 26 years of military service.

He was the top American and United States Army Air Forces fighter ace over Europe during World War II

 

 

 

The skin can be got on HSD

in both censored and uncensored versions.

EDIT: It has now been revised to have a 'stars and bars' under BOTH wings, as was historical, so thanks @Rjel!

Looks good. If I could suggest a fix, 8th AF P-47s carried the Stars and Bars under both wings.

Our Grandson Jack has entered the world within which we live!
I got him an Airfix Spitfire for Christmas and he seems to have 'taken off'!!
Off to RAF Cosford for him and me before too long I think, a good excuse for me...

Your Grandboy looks to be developing a worthy interest, luckily, he's got a great Elder to share it with. His artwork is quite reminiscent to probably many on this forum.

 

Thank you for sharing!

"Spit in Heaven"
No action, no custom skin, just to show how beautiful this game can look sometimes

YESSS!!! GREAT!!!   Indeed something to be very proud !  

Some 6/7 years ago my nephew used to play with cement, Humbrol and sandpaper on some of my old Airfix kits,

next step was learning to fly some of my RC planes and then he asked me a copy of IL2 GB as Christmas gift …

As far as I can remember I haven't done any G4 skins. If you come up with any ideas then I could maybe do one for you?

Up to you...
