DN308 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Hello, I would like to request for a P-47 from the Hell Hawks. It belonged to a pilot still alive with whom I’m still in touch. 1st Lt. Edward J. Lopez from the 365th FG / 387th FS. P-47 B4-L 228967 I don’t have much pics on that one but I can search for. All I have is bad quality pics all I have is his book and a drawing. i don’t have my hell hawks book with me actually but maybe one of you? Thank you so much in advance Edited October 29, 2019 by DN308 1
gabuzomeu Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Hi, I can give it a try, publish your photos here (I have the one profile from the Facebook HellHawks group)
Raptorattacker Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Try contacting @361st_Bugsy or @361st_SPEKTRE76 who both have massive databases on Thunderbolts. If you have no joy and can find some more material then I could maybe help you out. I just did a quick search and couldn't really find anything definitive. Rap
DN308 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 There should be some material in the « Thubderbolts of the hell hawks » but I don’t have it with me now so it’s a little bit difficult. in his (Lopez one) book, I just have poor quality pics, mainly overexposure ones. I really hope to find better ones and let you know.
JGr2/J5_W0LF- Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) I have that one, let me see if I can find it for ya! I did a large HellHawks skin pack for Gambit for his up coming P-47 BOBP campaign. I took the reference from their book. If you are still contact with him please fins out the names of his crew . The crew chief and the armorer. Thanks Edited October 29, 2019 by 361st_Bugsy
DN308 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 I just sent him a message to have those informations. It seems that this plane came as a replacement after the Bodenplatte strike. It came a week after the destruction of his previous one and that at that moment that he made the plane lettered with this name. Later, in March ´45, Hollywood came and took footage of his plane for the movie « Fighter Squadron », featuring hell hawks as guest stars. No more info so far

Wow ! Nice work. I sent a message to him and to the Hell Hawks association but I’m still waiting for the answer. however, on the profil I’ve put on my previous message, did you see the yellow part on the back and tail? The picture comes from the HH book. I guess this is a good info.
JGr2/J5_W0LF- Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Yes that's why I posted that it's a WIP...I need to increase the size of the Polly and the other lettering and then the tail color..No worries when it comes to the historical skins I'm OCD with them and I even go back over it later on down the line if I notice something and then correct and update again if needed. I got this no worries...! Edited October 30, 2019 by 361st_Bugsy
DN308 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Posted October 30, 2019 It was not an argument from me. Sorry for my bad English, it’s sometimes difficult to pass my feelings that way researches are still ongoing concerning the informations asked
JGr2/J5_W0LF- Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) OK just waiting for the info I requested...Had this been the model P-47 of the picture above the yellow tail markings would be spot on but the in game model is different then the picture. Edited October 30, 2019 by 361st_Bugsy 1
DN308 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Still waiting too... anyway, that one looks awesome so far
DN308 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Finally I have the informations: Crew chief Sgt. J J Ornstedt Armorer Cp S. Caras Edited November 8, 2019 by DN308
JGr2/J5_W0LF- Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 OK Guys you can go here for the skin...
