B-24 / B-25 / PBJ (26 Viewers)

[Stas1234]

Nah, I could paint a three-color camo scheme on the B-25... but I'd need someone to send me references or show me an example.

Still trying to decipher the inscription there. The longer I look at it the more getting convinced there is .... SUITABLE YOUR APPLICATION. Certainly I may be wrong but ...

I do not know if that has been solved but that decal is SUITABLE FOR AROMATICS. It was on most USAAF aircraft later in the war.

It relates to the fuel system which on earlier aircraft contained materials that were damaged by aromatic fuels - that is fuels containing benzene and similar additives to boost the octane rating.

Yes it has been done by Maty12 a couple of post later. But THX for your input.

Я уже создал четыре исторических варианта окраски для модели PBJ; просто зайдите в мой профиль, и вы их увидите.

I have a B-25 3D model... I have also created many historical and semi-historical liveries for the B-25 3D model.

Checked your "Ave Maria" from the 321st BG. Looks great all in all (because it is a B-25) - better than the one you are showing here. One note though: the national insignia on the fuselage should be in the same place approximate to the wing trailing edge (as I wrote before) not to the side blister. Your insignia on the right fuselage side is too much to the front. Wing insignias (top and bottom) should be the same size as on fuselage and in different positions (you put yours always too much to the inside) - I already described it: size and position. And one question: do you show underside camo (NG) with that particular model? If yes, it's incorrect: this a/c was in NM (natural metal, not factory camouflaged) and the top camo was applied in field (very characteristic for 321st BG).

BTW my favourite nose art from that group is STUFF, based on a pin-up by the Great Master of Pin-ups Alberto Varga:

The nose art - artist was obviously focusing on the buttocks much more than on the rest of the body.
Cheers!

Are there any images of a certain B-26B-20-MA 41-31708 WT-B, "The Gremlin II"?

 

[Stas1234]

Looks like I've found myself something to do for the next week.

Guys, there are definitely a lot of grammatical errors here, and I'm not very strong in English myself—could someone who knows their stuff help me out with the grammar?

Some of them seem kind of off, like 27, SGT VisPaZook and Daly, but I'll leave that up to you.

I didn't concern myself with the names; I simply looked at the letters and wrote them down.

 

[Wurger]

no.12 - Frank A. Morano should have the Cpl. ( caporal) rank. The 'CP" letters are on the left side of the beer mug handle while the "L" is overpainted by the handle. And then there is a dot of the abbreviation.

The no.3 should be 1st.Lt. while the no.2 seems to be F/O

The no.20 is OK.
The no.19 seems to be Sgt. Patrick Cavones

 

[Wurger]

The no.15 should be S/Sgt. Wm. A. Youlden
