Some alternate skins for Vildebeest III & IV have been uploaded, as per the screenshots earlier in this thread.

 

[SPman]

Nice.
Any chance of some RNZAF versions...?

 

[UncleTgt]

NZ versions - looking at 2 or 3 very different paintjobs, will keep you posted on progress.

Meantime, there's a 273 Sqdn Vild III out of Ceylon, March 1942 to be going on with ...

 

[UncleTgt]

... some more Vincents ...

in the upload queue

 

[Rami]

Awesome! Thanks! :ernae:

Now what the Vincent really needs is a nice dp with 8 x 112lb bombs & 8 x 20lb bombs ...

... anyone know if these 2 weapons already exist?

 

[baldy]

got any pics of these bombs - all I've seen are the WWI versions

112# and 20# Bombs

There is a Neiuport Be-2C Bomber by Gary Aumaugher at http://www.aerocrate.com that has weapons of this type in the Kit. Not sure if they will "translate" to WWII appearance or spec, but the weights are correct...

Chris Carlson made some similar bombs for the SCW Bre-19 = 22# & 110#. He gave me permission to upload them a few years ago. I'm certain that I still could do so.
