Thanks to each of you gentlemen for your kind and encouraging remarks.

Thanks also, Milton, for the "sales and service support" for your outstanding model!

Thanks also go out to you, Marty, for your beautiful and inspiring weathered worn paint jobs for the Marauder!

My brother was recently at the Smithsonian Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA where he got this great picture of the most famous B-26 of them all. Great for modelling.

Next up is "Rosie O'Brady"...

Next up is "Rosie O'Brady"...

I like this one Duckie

Thanks Milton. Just enough difference in paint and markings to distinguish "Rosie" from "Georgia's On My Mind".

I think they'll make a good pair.

[DaveQ]

This is a wonderful project and all you guys working on it are producing a real masterpiece! When can we expect some of the paints and paint kit to be available?

DaveQ

That question had crossed my mind.

Sure are a lot of nice paints

DaveQ

DaveQ, I think the general answer would be, "Once we have some interior textures (VC, navigator and radar areas, bomb bay, and rear gunners area), then we can assemble a complete package."

I do not know when that will be. I know of one person definitely working on the interior now, and maybe a second one. Then when Wellis becomes available from the A-20 Havoc project, he said he would take on the interior. The interior is essentially the whole length of the aircraft and will be a non-trivial task, and I would suggest that will be as involved as the first layered paint kit texture. There are a lot of 3D things that must be considered inside that further complicate the textures. That's why it takes longer to model and map the interior than the exterior.

Thanks for that Milton, I quite understand; of course we must wait until it's all finished. I'd really like to be involved but I don't get the time I once did for big projects such as this.

DaveQ, I know when you do get involved, the results are always outstanding. Thanks for your many contributions to the sim world.

PS How's the F8F looking now?? PM or the thread.

Its great to watch this FSX Dream Team at work but can I ask is this all going to be packaged up together and made available to us as a complete item? Lost track of it a bit as to what is the latest work... just thinking it might be a bit difficult for us to put together ourselves from the various updates there have been.

Matt, once we have interior textures including the cockpit and panel textures available, I think we can start to see some packaging. There's just not a full package of textures available at the moment.

[Duckie]

Rosie's done...





Couple more screenies to follow...

[Duckie]

A few more of Rosie...

[MDIvey]

Superb paint as always Steve

Thanks for reply Milton... really looking forward to end result of all this hard work you guys are devoting to this project.

One more Marauder in the hanger. B-26B-20-MA, Fightin' Cock, 450th BS, 322nd BG, Andrews Field, March 1944.

[Milton Shupe]

Well done Sir! Another prime addition to the hangar of Blue ribbon winners.

[Duckie]

Thank you Milton.

I've just uploaded my paint kit for Milton's B-26. There's one for both PSP and PSD formats. The are simple and with no proprietary
effects to keep most from being able to use them. If you download it make sure you select the one formatted for you app.

They should be available shortly. Hope you enjoy.

Nice work Steve. Very impressive.
