More of the Douglas XB-19

[PutPut]

The XB-19 with it's 212 foot wingspan was the largest airplane ever built before the B-36. My family lived close to Wright field at the end of WW2 and I saw this monster in the air over Columbus Ohio a few times. It was the XB-19A by then and had the big Allison engines installed. I remember it flew very slow and took a lot of real estate to make a turn.
I settled on a reflective surface for this plane as I never got it to my satisfaction with a specular shine.
The XB-19 had a huge flight deck so I added a camera position there. I hope to release it in a few days when I get rid of a couple more "zits".

That's looking really great Paul. Has that co-pilot been reassigned?

Paul, you and Piglet are my FSX heroes! Love that you choose to do such cool and relatively obscure planes. Can't wait to fly this big beast!
