I'd like to request a skin of Ivan Babak's P-39 "white 01" of 1945.

Bell P-39N-0 Airacobra , serial no. (4) 29033, on which flew Captain I. Babak in the 100th Guards Fighter Air Regiment in May 1945, Germany.
On the fuselage behind the cabin is the inscription "from schoolchildren Mariupola" ( ОТ ШКОЛЬНИКОВ Мариуполя ). It is an aircraft for the purchase of which the inhabitants of Mariupol raised funds . It was a show of gratitude for rescuing the Mariupol girls, who the Germans tried to transport to Germany. On Monday, September 6, 1943, however, Babak, flying in his Airacobra, hit the steam locomotive of a train carrying girls with an accurate shot, thus preventing them from being taken to Germany.

Thanks Jollyjack.  This is his 1942-3 cobra, I believe, and looks like you did a great job with it!  

Yep, he's a Ukrainian hero!

Perhaps someone else will take on the other one ?

This is too easily hijacked so it is closed for the moment. We can re-visit it later.
