Noseart of the =69.GIAP=

With the release of Pacific Fighters in October 2004, the ability to create and add your own noseart to aircraft became possible. But this feature is restricted to only 6 different types of flyable aircraft, and unfortunately these noseart files can only be displayed on these aircraft if you select USAF, USN or USMC markings!!!

This fact came as a blow to our beloved Olga: she had longed to have her likeness adorn the noses of our aircraft as we soared into battle against the facist hordes, but not with a big ugly white star on the side of the plane!! But, this has not deterred the Regiment from creating some noseart depicting some of the more intriguing centrefolds of the "Cooperative Farmer's Daughters" publication which featured our lovely Olga. Examples are displayed below!!

The flyable aircraft which are able to display noseart are as follows:

• B-25J-1NA
• A-20G
• P-38J
• P-38L
• P-38L Late
• P-47D-27
• P-47D
• P-51D-5NT
• P-51D-20NA
• P-40E
• P-40M

Below are screenshots showing examples of stock game noseart on these aircraft.

There are a number of AI aircraft which are able to display noseart; these are:

• B-29
• B-24J-100-CF
• B-17D
• B-17E
• B-17F
• B-17G
• B-25G-1NA
• B-25H-1NA
• C-47

Squad Noseart

Here are three examples of noseart made with the lovely Olga in a variety of poses. She strikes a stunning figure, don't you think lads?? The idea is to distract the Krauts as we bomb and strafe the crap out of them!! Hopefully it'll work.

Now, with all the squad noseart files, I have made two versions: one version for the GeeYap fighters, and one for the GeeShap bombers. As you can see in the images below, I have added onto the other side of the fuselage the different crests of the two squadrons, so whether you are in the GeeShap or GeeYap, you can wear any of the noseart files, and have your squad emblem too!! Each noseart is labelled GeeYap or GeeShap accordingly, so there shouldn't be any confusion.
