I’m very sorry to inform you,though the picture of that WP C44-9W is a nice picture,its a fake.Dale Sanders was “having fun with the computer”,and there is NO actual picture of that unit at all.If you look at any current roster book you will find that there is no such unit in wp paint .Read Dale Sanders editorial and you will see that it was an april fools joke,not to mention that if you "look at the date"of when the picture was taken…April 1,2004 isn’t even here yet.Sorry to spoil your search.
Sincerely,
Andrew

Even if it is a fake I’d still like to see it. [alien]

If they can paint engines in Camo (Gulf War I) and for Olympics, no reason they could not do a WP Paint job
