I realize, of course, that it's unfortunately Photoshop, but...

What do you think?)

 

[Wurger]

Nice.

What kind of B-25 is that? I want to try replicating those winding lines.

It's a B-25H-5 serial no. 43-4672. The Mitchell is in the post-war tow target markings.

the pic source: the net.

Any ideas on what else to add? If we're going to improvise, let's go all out!

Handley Page H.P.42 in D-Day invasion livery...or the Maxim Gorky in U.S.A.F Thunderbirds demo team livery.

I might have missed some of the explanations before but here's my question about those liveries: are you showing everything possible in one 3D-model, so parts of it could be deleted or added later? I'm asking because no B-25 had a radar pod on the tip of the wing. Those were PBJ-1J, the nasalized variant. The white/red stripes on the rudders are also very early markings and were never used on a B-25J2 (strafer nose). There were some older B-25s modified as "fat cats" (delivery planes, hacks) in the MTO and SWPA with such markings but those were not battle planes anymore. Modern repaints of existing flying B-25 are not historically correct, if you are using some of them. B-25J with a strafer nose, invasion stripes and USAAF insignia is an imaginary plane. The "Mitchells" with invasion stripes were RAF-bombers. MTO-planes did not participate in the Normandy landings. Yes, there is at least one B-25 I know of, with those stripes and solid nose (not J2 though!): gen. Eisenhower's personal a/c - a highly modified unarmed transport, but everything there is different.

Maybe one possible change is the size of the national insignia "type 4", which is shown incorrect for a late B-25J. The diameter of the disk should be 50" without border, the white bar is 25" long from the point of the star to the blue border. Center of star is 118" after the trailing edge of the wing. Insignia on wing is same size, center of star (top and bottom) is 130" from the outer edge of wing - check photos below.

Cheers!

First.This is the PBJ model, not the B-25. Second. I know about the information regarding "Polos Invasion."
Third. This livery is completely fictional; I was just improvising.

Oh right, I made another "pony" PBJ—this time with Rainbow Dash.

I thought I'd enjoy this—after all, creating 18 historical paint schemes for American piston-engine aircraft was starting to feel a bit tedious... But the "Pony" liveries were fleeting; at first, I found them amusing, but now I feel nothing for them.

Very well then - basically you know everything you need. But again, the flying restored planes are the last source I will use for inspiration or historical accuracy. In fact I will never use them.
One thing bothers me though, when you are saying "This is a PBJ-model", why don't you use it for PBJ-camouflage and markings? The 3-colour schemes are rather appealing IMHO. Don't you have a B-25 3D-model? And if you don't, why don't you create one or download it from somewhere? I was thinking we first create the model of a plane and then start with liveries, not vice versa. But maybe that's only me....

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.

 

[Stas1234]

Personally, I've grown tired of three-color schemes; I used to work primarily with Soviet and Russian aircraft, and those mostly feature three- or four-color schemes (camouflage patches).
I decided to try something new and chose these three aircraft: the B-24, B-25, and PBJ.
