Post subject: | P-38 that killed Yamamoto |
Here is the P-38 that was part of the group that made a rendezvous with Yamamoto's Betty. Rex Barber's "Miss Virginia" is credited with the kill. You have to read about the story here: https://www.historynet.com/death-by-p-38.htm ![]() ![]() If you recall, the Zero A6M skins I painted have the right side of the rudder graphics mirrored from the left side. It is a major problem that was created by the 3-D modeler and as far as I know, there is nothing that can be done. Well, guess what? the same is true for the entire side of the fuselage as well as the rudder of the P-38 skin. That is why the skins you see of the -F and some of the others have numbers on the plane such as 181, 88 and 11. Some of the skins do not have the rudder mirrored, but unfortunately, the -G cannot be fixed. You can see the problem on this screenshot of "Miss Virginia": ![]() The solution is not to have accurate decals or to have half the plane be correct and the other half messed up. |

I just wanted to remind forum-ites that the images above are a little light and faded. If you click on the image, it takes you to PostImage and if you click on the image again, it loads up the full-size photo with proper colors. |

Absolutely. Makes it look more natural, I think. |

"I think" means in this case same than "in my opinion". Up to you which way you prefer it but I presume in flight not many pay attention to the angle of sun compared with shadows. |
