308th BG, B-24J skins uploaded tonight

Hi folks, remember me? It's been a while since I have done anything in CFS2.

These repaints are for Krzysztof Malinowskis B-24J. I started these a long time ago, and figured it was time to get them finished.

This skin pack includes 4 B-24-J's from the 308th BG.

The 308th made many trips over the Hump to India to obtain gasoline, oil, bombs, spare parts, and other items the group needed to prepare for and then to sustain its combat operations. The 308th Group supported Chinese ground forces; attacked airfields, coalyards, docks, oil refineries, and fuel dumps in French Indochina; mined rivers and ports; bombed shops and docks at Rangoon; attacked Japanese shipping in the East China Sea, Formosa Strait, South China Sea, and Gulf of Tonkin. Received a DUC for an unescorted bombing attack, conducted through antiaircraft fire and fighter defenses, against docks and warehouses at Hankow on 21 Aug 1943. Received second DUC for interdiction of Japanese shipping during 1944-1945. The group moved to India in Jun 1945 where it ferried gasoline and supplies over the Hump until sailing for the US in Dec 1945.

For more information about the 308th BG, visit this website http://www.usaaf-in-cbi.com/308th_web/index.htm

Hope you like them! Merry Christmas everyone!

Brian

CBI Liberators...

To all,

RobH has uploaded some CBI skins for K. Maloniwski's excellent B-24J Liberator. Hopefully these bad boys can get up over "the hump!"

Great work, RobH! :ernae:

Here's a link to the actual aircraft, in case you don't have it...

My experience with these Liberators is that they're wonderful if you're using it as a player a/c, but they are true frame-rate killers if used in large groups. The Alphasim Libs are much more FPS friendly, but you lose the details of this model. So, it's a nice problem to have! :mixedsmi:
 
RobH,

I just made a stickied announcement of your work, and you beat me to the clock!

Thanks for these wonderful Lib skins! :ernae:
 
Thanks Rami!:ernae:

I thought long and hard on which of the 2 B-24's I was going to paint. I decided with Krzysztofs because I liked the shape of his, and the detail is much better.
 
Great stuff Brian,
Even though I rarely fly over Burma this will give me a reason to do so. Many thanks and a very happy Christmas to you and yours!

Hey Brian! Great to see you. Lovely skins as always!

Will you be spending some time with us in the Basement for a while?
 
Thank you guys!!

Michael, thats ok, if not, there will be other skins for other areas in the near future:salute:

Good to see you Bob! Sorry I never got around emailing you:redf:

Hewman, yes, I will be around for awhile. I really liked how incredible the aircraft look in FSX. But, after burning up 2 expensive video cards, I am fed up with it. I just dont have the finances to keep up with the flow in FSX.

Other than a few hiccups here and there in CFS2, you just cant beat old reliable CFS2.:ernae:
 
Hi Brian,

Beautiful work, luv 'em!!

KM's models do stand the test of time eg Ju88, but look even better with some smart new clothes..:applause:
