Very nice Clave! Seeing as you got that one sussed, here's another one for ya!

 

[Clave]

I like the look of 'T-GR' is that standard RAF brown/green camo?

 

[Wildcat]

Clave, I believe all P-39s used by the RAAF were hand me downs from USAAF squadrons in Aus and New Guinea. One source I have states they were most likely painted Earth brown and foliage green with sky blue undersurfaces.

 

[Clave]

I can dig it...

Well I finally got round to trying to fix this:

Cool Clave.Colours are good but the yellow strip is still incorrect I'm afraid.I know why,the shadow of the vertical stabilizers misled you.There is Wojciech Sankowski's colour profile of the Polynin's P-39.

Nice photo of P-39 B-18engineer .Could you give some more details on that?

 

[B-17engineer]

What u mean......?

 

[Wildcat]

I think Wurger is probably interested in who flew that plane, what squadron it's from and location?

 

[Wurger]

Yes I'm interested in that Wildcat thought plus his interests.

 

[B-17engineer]
