Well, this seems to look a lot better in OD...more historical too. Oddly, my book definately show pictures of some still in Natural Metal.

 

 

 

34th PS.

All new panel, rivet lines, new decals (and some decal surprises!), passanger door/window added. Some minor ini tweeks; still cant find info if in had wing racks - the Mini In Action says one carried 2 100 lb bombs to attack Japanese shipping -- may have to add them as 'virtual' hardpoints via ini edits. Still have to dial in the nose number decal a smidge. New hangar screen, corrected lights; have to add the landing light still. Write readme, etc.

 

Still not quite sure about the cockpit ... I'm using the Tomahawks right now, but all the pictures of the Swedish version (which IS essentially a P-35A, as they were built from the Swedish order) show a reflector gunsight. Which means a simple swap out for Wolf's P-47D-20 Razorback. Even if the insturmentation is wrongish, it DOES have the front framing that matches.

 

Should have it ready to upload tommorrow sometime.

Yes, it DOES look nice! :yes:

 

The P-35s delivered to the Philippines were initially in natural metal, but were hastily camouflaged shortly before hostilities began. That explains photos of cammo'ed and bare P-35s - it depends on when the photo was taken.

 

I have seen at least one photo that shows an extreme amount of the OD paint weathered off a Philippines P-35. The effect was much like the extremely weathered and chipped look of some WW2 Japanese aircraft - apparently, the OD paint jobs were a little TOO hasty!
