Douglas Digby Mk1 RCAF40 skin by UncleTgt
This is a repaint for Paul Clawson's Douglas B-18 Bolo.
The Canadians took delivery of 20 B18A Bolos during 1940 & used them for maritime patrol. The Canadian Digbys are credited with one U-boat kill. This was U-520 which was sunk on October 3, 1942 by Digby #757 PB-K of 10 (BR) Squadron operating out of Dartmouth (Halifax, Nova Scotia). By mid-1943, the RCAF Digbys had been superseded by Liberator GR. Vs in the anti-submarine role.
This aircraft is my best guess of how this aircraft would have appeared soon after delivery at the end of 1940. It includes a deshined & recoloured mdl file that better suits the drab WW2 scheme rather than the shiny pre-war silver. It also includes a new dp, derived from Dombral's Douglas C-33, with armament & maritime ASW payloads added.
To install, unzip the download and place your chosen texture files in the texture folder for the Douglas B18A Bolo within the aircraft folder in your CFS2 Main Directory. Back up your original model & dp files replace them with these.
Thanks to
Paul Clawson for a great aircraft.
