German Airforce Piaggio P.149D '91+57'.zip 2024-06-17

Repaint for Mario Noriega's beautiful Piaggio P.149, depicting '91+57' of JaboG 49 (Fighter/Bomber Wing) in its post-1969 lettering (type-based code). Although the P.149D mainly was used as a trainer, most Luftwaffe units were equipped with it for liasion purposes. Starting in 1957, the German Airforce received a total of 266 P.149D aircraft, equipped with a 290 hp Lycoming GO-470 B engine. Only 76 of these were built by Piaggio, the rest of 190 got manufactured under license by Focke-Wulf at Bremen. In the beginning of their career, the German Piggis wore a blank-metal finish, later replaced by overall Trainer Yellow or camo scheme with dayglo markings. These are texture files only! This repaint was done utilizing the very elaborated paint kit by Mario Noriega.
