Just uploaded FS9 & FSX textures for this.

Cazzie

SOH-CM-2024
This repaint of Manuele Villa's beautiful Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 represents one of the last serving SM.79s in the world, those of the Lebanese Air Force, which flew them into the early 1960s after being formed in 1949. In the Lebanese Air Force, it served as a transport aircraft.

I have done four textures for this aircraft, 2 for FS9 and 2 for FSX, so please read the installation instructions carefully.

caz, you've stepped into a new level of painting. superb execution!
gotta get me one, I love flying out of Spraycan's OLBA.
 
I think those radials are going to need a re-seal soon. I just hate an "off the assembly line" clean ship.
 
That's absolutely stunning, Caz! :applause:
I can almost smell this bird...
(Don't like antiseptic out-of-the-box aircraft too!)
 
Thanks guys, but I made a faux pas. It is a bomber, not a transport.

Seeing as how Douglas is still celebrating the weekend and it has not made it up yet, do the following. In FS9, change the cfg to read as the following.

[fltsim.*]
title=SM79 LEBANESE SPARVIERO BOMBER
sim=SM79bis
model=bomber
panel=
sound=
texture=lebanon
kb_reference=SM79bis_ref
ui_manufacturer=Savoia Marchetti
ui_type=SM.79 Bis Sparviero/Transport
ui_variation=Lebanese Air Force
description=Some SM.79s were converted into various versions of utility transports during the last phases of the war and survived in that role until 1952.By Manuele Villa & ItalianWings ,February 2008.
kb_checklists=
atc_id_color=0000000000
visual_damage=0

_________________________________________________
In FSX, you must copy and paste the base texture in the Savoia Marchetti SM-79 MVG folder and paste it back and rename it texture.lebanon, do not use the main texture in the Savoia Marchetti SM-79 Bis MVG as in the Read Me.

Alter the aircraft.cfg in the same manner as above and add the next number in line.

I plan to add some black de-icer boots to it and paint the prop spinners red if I can find the key to them on one of the texture maps, so look for a new texture in the future.

Thank you folks for the kind words, it makes the hard hours doing these worthwhile. I must leave today and upgrade my video cards, however, one of my 8800 GTS cards blew out last night, re: Newshawks.
