MTO B-26Bs and gun packages

Milton Shupe said:
Radioman123, there is no configurator with this package and no way for the texture artists to eliminate the modeled guns.

I could provide a model without the guns if there is demand for it.

I am looking at painting some of the 320 BG and 319 BG birds from the MTO.

There is a great web site with color pictures of a number of these birds: http://320thbg.org/

The factory version of the outside gun packages had 4 guns. The birds in the MTO usually removed the bottom two or all four. The no gun package is great for that. Is it possible to have a model with just the lower two removed?

I am looking at Miss Belle Ringer as an example of an interesting plane to paint.

To all involved in this project; Great work! I have been following it since the first post and it has been very interesting to follow the progress. I'm very much looking forward to the finished package! And it looks like it will be lot of paints :)

Projects like this is something the SoH community is very good at and I'm hoping for many more to come!

Hi Radioman123, I will generate a model without the lower guns for you to paint this variant...

Model Folder only attached.

You must distribute the Model folder along with your paints.

Thank you Jens, and yes, I agree and hope there are a ton of paints for this well represented bird.

Gentlemen,

Here are replacement model folders that have adjustments to the prop hubs and antenna.

See if these work better for you.

Hey Milton, sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this but RL cropped up it ugly head last week and I just now got the chance to scope these out. The prop hubs look great and the ADF antenna shadow is much better distributed. Thanks. I'll have an update screen shot or two with wings maybe by tonight after another chipped paint party!

Many thanks. I will put it to good use.

Finally finished chipping paint on the wings. Took a while to get the leading edges to look OK. Lots of stretching going on there so it was go big or go home. Didn't look right going home so I went big! Need to do a little chipping on the H-tails then start on really messing up that paint with some streaking.

Steve,

That is Amazing....:encouragement: Your hard work really shows here.
 
Duckie, having studied and done this weathering on models during my modelling days, I must say this looks extremely well done:applause:!

Excellent Steve. :applause:

One other area you might consider for some chipping is the gun pods. See attached.
One picture shows, in spite of the up front chipping, the hstabs look pretty much pristine.

Thank you Dimus. I suspect there are quite a few of us who are experinced through our modeling days. It certainly comes in handy!

Thanks for the suggestions Milton. To be sure the H- tails will be lightly weathered. As far as the gun pods, l'm going to give it another go but they are tougher than the wing leading edges. Most of the chipping I've tried there looks more like smears than chips but I'm not done yet.

Yes, I forgot about the angular mapping there Steve; may be better to leave it as is.
