Alwyas did like the red outline. Also nice pilot texture.

I have a couple more skins to do and then they will be released as an OH P-38G modification package "P-38Gs of the 82nd Fighter Group" with new air, dp, and cfg files to create a G mark of the P-38.

Kurt,

What's the history behind "Chicken Dit?" That's gotta have a good story. Great work, by the way...

Hi Rami,

Lt. Rounds originally named the plane Cadiz Eagle. Shortly after his 4th victory he changed the name to Chicken Dit but I haven't found a reason given. Maybe it was some play on the original name because of something that happened. Rounds scored one more victory in the plane but was shot up in the process and had to crash land on his return to base, writing off Chicken Dit.
