POSTED: B-25D-30 Russian Lend-Lease

I just uploaded a new version of the B-25...Russian export version designated as the D-30. The aircraft is a pet project inspired by Sopwith Chameleon's skin of the aircraft flown by Flight leader 1st.Lt.A.Mogilnitskiy. Hungary, Spring of 1945....a true defender of the Rodina ( Motherland pronounced ROHdenah). :friday:

The name of the aircraft is "For the Blood of Vitebsk!", a reference to the hometown of the pilot. This B-25D-30 'Red 85' became his personal machine in 337th APDD (in December 1943 number was changed to 35th GvAPDD but during this month it was redesignated again as 251st GvBAP). :kilroy:

She differs from the normal C/D in that she does have a tail gun, the ventral turret was never installed, she has two fixed guns forward and two waist guns. She also sports individual exhaust stacks. :typing:

The aircraft includes Pen32Win's droptank for the Bombs Medium Long Range payload and my B25_AI_Bombs for that payload. :wave:

Expect her in the download que by evening. :engel016:

Thanks M8

BTW: Is that an historical inscription on the side? "For the Blood of Vitebsk"
Click to expand...

...Vitebsk in Belarus, Russia (the pilot's home) near the Latvian border was occupied by Nazi troops from 1941-1944. During that time up to 150,000 civilian residents were killed by the occupiers. :kilroy:
