Tuskegee Airmen Planes and Pilot Outfits

I would like the Tuskegee Airmen planes and pilot outfits of WW II. Here is a blurb from the Wikipedia article that describes the planes. My preference would be the P-47 with the red-painted tail, giving them the nickname "Red Tails" of the 332nd Fighter Group. But any of the following planes will do! 

 

The 332nd Fighter Group and its 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons were equipped for initial combat missions with Bell P-39 Airacobras (March 1944), later with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts (June–July 1944) and finally with the aircraft with which they became most commonly associated, the North American P-51 Mustang (July 1944). When the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group painted the tails of their P-47s red, the nickname "Red Tails" was coined. The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red rudder; the P-51B and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces.

I cannot help regarding the P39, P47 or P51. Concerning the outfits, what about "Pilots Uniform of WWII" from DarkEdgeDesign? A pretty good G8 product including parachute, belts and stuff.

As for the color scheme of aircraft, remember that you can do a lot yourself... with a tiny little bit of practice. Like this:

Thanks. I do have that uniform and materials add-on, but they look different than in the Wiki. Which model in the Daz store did you use for that plane?

Lots of P-47s' to choose from https://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?keyword=P-47+Thunderbolt

personally I like the P-51  better since it is the aircraft they are known for.

Purchase one in OBJ or FBX format, import, apply textures again if needed and then take the texture into photoshop or GIMP to give it the red tail, easy pezzy.

Thanks @FSMCDesigns. I'll check out turbosquid for both planes.
