CAUTION!! This thread contains pictures of poorly painted nudity, view at your own discretion!! LOL, ok, got that over with.:icon_lol:


The following repaints were uploaded today. These are for the payware Virtavia B-24J. On a side note, I bought mine back when Virtavia was still Alphasim, so if you bought yours when they were Virtavia, you might have to make some adjustments to the names in the CFG entry I provided.

These pics don't really show the shine in the metal. I think once you install the repaint, it will look different than my pictures.

1st: B-24J-150-CO, 'Booby Trap/Miss Jolly Roger, from the 5th Air Force, 90th Bomb Group, 321st Bomb Squadron, Bu No.44-40193. This aircraft had two names and two different Nose arts.

2nd: B-24J-150-CO, named 'The Butchers Daughter'. The Butchers Daughter, went down on a mission, en route to Formasa, 15 May 1945. Five minutes after takeoff, the bomb bay tank overflowed, flooding the bomb bay with gasoline. 30 seconds after this discovery the plane exploded. One of the crew (S/Sgt. Donald C. Ruff) survived the crash, regaining consciousness under water with small pieces of aluminum floating around him. He inflated his Mae West and went to the surface where he was subsequently found by a PT boat. Pilot - Lt. Roy D. Breedlove.

90th Bomb Group, the terror of the SW Pacific under General Kenny's 5th Army Air Force. A great subject for your great skills Rob.

With textures like this, I may have to download that B-24.
 
Jagdflieger - I've already got the B-24 (comes in "D" and "J" flavors) you won't be disappointed. Also downloaded all of these and will be installing after I come back from a meeting tonight. Thanks again!!!
 
Thanks B and and your not the first and will not be the last who returns to FS9.

Cheers,
Huub
 
They look fantastic, im guessing there for the later Alpha B29 rather than the older freeware model.
cheers ian
 
For the longest time, I had a pic I took of the Dragon as my FS9 spash screen, including some old guy (no, not me) just standing there staring at the girl! :isadizzy:
