Tagged: blood red skies, miniaturepainting, WW2
Last week I started painting my P-38 Lightnings for my Blood red Skies americans.
I bought 6 P-38’s from Armaments in Miniatures since Warlord games still sells no lightnings.
These were always my favorite WW2 planes and I decidet to paint them in the olive drab camouflage.
These particular planes are part of the 338th fighter squadron, 55th fighter group. CL-T „Stinger“, CL-V „Janet“ and CL-D „Diving Eagle“.
All six planes will get names of historical planes of the squadron. With the exeption of Stinger I have to paint on the nose art for each plane by hand but some little blotches do the trick.
I hope you enjoy.?






Interesting. I ran out and bought Wildcats after I saw the Warlords table with the USS Hornet as a center piece with Zeros attacking. I’ve just been using P-51 stats cause I don’t want to unbalance the game play.
What do you use for stats for you P-38s?
Warlord will release card sets for each nation with new planes which did not got minis yet. It will take a while but usaaf will have a P-38j card as far as I know.
For now I use the beta stats for the P-38e from the facebook page:
FP 2
AG2
Speed 8 (395mph)
traits: multi engine (2), agile, tight turn, heavy hitter.
cheers
Nice. I didn’t know about Warlord releasing info on Facebook.
