I was flicking through a Canberra group I am part of in facebook when someone posted the picture below. I have asked about it and the scheme is white with black strips just wanted to ask if there was a chance of a repaint of it for the Flying stations canberra. And I know im going to sound a bit cheeky here but ive seen that it has been done for the FSX version but cant find it for FS9. I there a chance of Snafu being done for the A2A P-47.

If its been done for FSX, there's a good chance it can be converted back from DDS to BMP, where did you see the texture's---

cheers ian

I do like Canberra's :jump:
 
Those stripes (the underwing ones at least , not sure about the tail) will be red, not black. WD941 was one of 5 Canberra U.14s, ex-bombers converted to drone/targets for the Royal Navy and used by 728 NAS for Sea Slug trials from Hal Far in Malta; although she survived the trials, she was scrapped in 1963. I'll dig around to see if I can get more info on that tail stripe, and will then do this for both the Flying Stations and John Young AI Canberras, should be a relatively simple job.


And, no, I haven't forgotten that Lago Tornado repaint, just struggling to produce a decent job, the mapping is a pain.

Ok Andy thanks again I dont suppose you know if there is a repaint out there of Snafu for FS9 A2A P-47.
 
I was kicking around the idea of doing it a while back (although it is well above my pay grade), but then John Young included the scheme in the AI pack for the ACG Duxford scenery. May not be on the WOP model, but it means I have SNAFU in the Duxford circuit, so works for me.

Never seen one, and the FSX version can't be adapted (different mapping).

I did one for the WWII Fighters P47 in FSX (not the WOP3 Accusim model) a while back for my own use, but wasn't uploaded anywhere. That has the same mapping as the FS9 P47, so should be convertible back to FS9 format.
