Question: are there any other repaints that will fit this model?

For painters: is there any way to do a "Heavenly Body" repaint - the photo posted above is to die for - of this model or is that too difficult due to so many textures?

Regarding repaints:

Once I have a complete list of "wish list" paint schemes for the b25, (both from members of this forum and from the many emails being received) it will be announced what the battle plan is.

It is possible to do a repaint for the B25. The many files just makes it impractical to create and provide a "public paintkit". It will take about a month to do a new "paint scheme" once I get started. If I work on more than one paint scheme at the same time it will add perhaps an extra day per extra paint scheme ...so theoretically, I could create a number of paint scheme's in about a month.

If I work on it full time - it is 10-14 days work.

So, I am just waiting a while so a comprehensive list of what people would like can be built up and it will be taken from there.

Steve,

I for one will appreciate any repaints you may do.

Thanks.

BTW....is it possible to have bump mapping on this?

 

[expat]

Thanks very much Steve. They will be worth waiting for and appreciate the effort.

A wonderful freeware aircraft!!!

No offense to our allies, the Brits and the RAF, but any US repaint would be greatly appreciated by me!

Hi -G-

With regards to the bump mapping etc. ... it is not possible with the current model ... HOWEVER ... IF there is enough interest from people, I will consider making the changes needed and doing an FS-X "native" model with all of the bells and whistles.

I really don't think you'll have any problem rustling up the support for an FSX-native version, Steve.

That's what I'm afraid of

Really a stunning model

A big "Thank you" for giving it to us!

The outside of this aircraft is just gorgeous. The lack of VC detail is just fine because it's free and looks this good.

Audixaudix, like already said by lateral-G; any repaint will be highly appreciated, but I would really appreciate a repaint in the colours of the Dutch 320 Squadron who were part of the RAF. They flew the B25-J from december 1944 until August 1945 when the Squadron became part of the Dutch Navy.

Thanks for taking it in consideration,

Hi Huub

I have a number of photo's taken at an airshow of an RAF Mitchell MkII with a similar paint scheme to the one on the webpage you provided the link for.

Are those the colours that you would like?

This B-25 is an outstanding piece of work and is very much appreciated. Thankyou to all of the team that created it.

I'm with Huub as regards the Dutch 320 Squadron repaint. I live only 6 miles from Attlebridge airfield in Norfolk, England from where 320 Squadron's B-25's flew out of in 1943.

Those are indeed the colours I would like, nothing fancy, just as standard olive-drab/grey scheme with D-Day stripes, red lettering and a small orange triangle.

There might be some confusion as the Dutch flew the B-25J both in the Europe, as part from the RAF (320 sqn), and in the Pacific, as part from the RAAF (18 sqn & 19 sqn). After the war in 1947 the Royal Dutch Navy purchased the B-25C/D which remained in service until 1954. The former RAAF B25s went to the Netherlands East Indies Air Force and remained in service until Indonesia became independent.

The picture below shows a B25 (NO-V) in the livery I would like. The orange triangle shows the aircraft belongs to a Dutch squadron (although there were some Belgium crews in the 320 sqn as well).

During the war the aircrafts had "nose arts" and the number of missions flown were illustrated by bombs on the nose. Many of the earlier B-25s had names painted on the noses. There are a few I know:
FR207 NO-U was called Flak Joy,
FR141 NO-B was called Ouwe Jongens,
FR198 NO-C was called C for Crocodile,
FR201 NO-Z was called Blasting B@star@rd.
The only picture from these nose arts I have is from "Ouwe Jongens".

The B-25Js were "on loan" from the RAF, I can imagine these didn't have any nose arts except for the small "official" orange triagle.

Thanks again,
Huub
