Skins for Allen's new B-24J Liberator by Beepee!

B24J Allen Little Lulu V2.zip

The former version of the nose art for "lLittle Lulu" was a little fuzzy... so I uploaded a new version with a cleaner nose art, and some others minor modifications

Rami please again... can you delete my former "Little Lulu V2" upload in the library
Thanks again

And by the way, as I don't want to bother you again with updating files in the library, can you explain me how to do it myself ?

Cheers
Beepee

THANK YOU!

​
P.S.: Beepee, since you decided to double your effort, I gather you found confirmation she was painted in olive drab. Let me ask you, where did you find the info and "Little Lulu" B/W picture?
I'd like to see if I can find more info about 1944-45 15th USAAF ops in Northern Italy, do you happen to know how to get access to declassified USAAF records of the period? Providing they were uploaded to the Net.

Please again Rami can you update that file

Hi Kelti

You are right, I mistaken with the red band on the left inner engine.
There was also an artifact under the shark mouth, in the lower front part (a red band that has not to be there)
I got rid of that and I also redrown the theeth (particularly the lower)of the smark mooth.
I think the model is now quite good (see the real picture of the bird)
View attachment 4451

Here is a new zip with the updated textures
View attachment 4452.

Rami please, can you be kind enough to replace the updated zip in the library has I don't know haw to do that. Tanks again for that

One new B24J "Kathryn Anne / Dopey

I Uploaded today a new skin for Allen B24J Liberator
The package contains skin textures for :
B-24J-1-NT "Kathryn Anne/Dopey" serial 42-78600,
Flown by llt Robert McKee, 98th BG. Marcianise, Italy. Ap,il 1945
This Liberator earned the dubious distinction of being the very last B-24 to seek refuge in Switzerland during World War 2. The bomber touching down at Dubendorf with battle damage on 8 April 1th 945.
CFS2 KathrynAnne_Dopey.jpgDopey Kathryn Anne.jpgB24J Kathryn Anne-Dopey.jpg
From my researchs on the net, I think that the cowlings were red...and not silver like in the drawing.
The colors of Dopey are from my own feeling, interpreted from Dopey pictures founded on the net...
Enjoy

An other one B-24J of 15th AF

I upload today a new skin for Allen B24-J Liberator
The package contains skin textures for :
B-24J-20-FO "Sissy Lee" serial 42-51974,
flown by 1lt Joseph C Clayton, 456th BG. 15th AF February 1945
This aircraft was one of six Fifteenth Air Force J-24s that landed i n Switzerland following the large raid on the marshalling yards at Augsburg
on 27 February 1 945.
Intercepted by Swiss fighters once in neutral airspace, the bomber landed at Oubendorf with its number one engine shut down
The cowl rings, shawn in red in most pictures of the bird, are estimated, as reference used appeared to show them in a coloured shade.
The WWII photos founded on the net show that only the left outer engine cowling was painted (red or coloured shade ?)

Enjoy
