Lightning strikes! blood red skies planes

[miniaturebrushwork 2905xp 4]

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
