Hey Rick. I would very much welcome your help on those items once I get the panels and rivets done. I'm particularly interested in what I'll call the "Half and Half" schemes with OD on the top surfaces and bare metal on the bottom. Your touch on the metal surfaces would be a real treat.

Glad to help! Just PM me when ready. If you can, keep the rivets & lines on their own layers. I'll do some effects treatment to them prior to turning them into part of the bumps. Would be happy to help compliment all your hard work there.

QUESTION ?...I've been trying to determine what the B-26 (late B and C) control surfaces were covered with. After a couple days of researching my sources and the web I've found only one source that states the rudder was fabric covered and elevators were metal skinned. Nothing on the ailerons.
I have photos where, due to color differentiation and what appears to be surface stress, all control surfaces look as if to be shinned with fabric. Then, I also have found some photos that show what appears to be smooth, flat, evenly reflective control surfaces that look like all are metal skinned.
Does anyone have any source of documented construction materials for the control surfaces of the B-26?
Thanks for any help you could be.
Steve

If you look at this pic:
Ha, does not work, but now look further down
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
If you look at this pic:
I would say ailerons and elevators are painted, and thus probably fabric covered.<br>
Great job so far, unfortunately I am currently in my spring/summer travelling mode, so I have almost no time to do any painting. I am however very much looking forward to produce the extremely weathered paintjobs, like the one above, that you so often see on B-26's.

Grab the popcorn, this is a 47 minute training film includes preflight checks to takeoff.
Thanks for all the replies folks. Still plenty to do before I have to make the decision on how to treat the control surfaces.
Thanks Milton
Thanks Butch. Will take a look at your stuff.
Jankees--I agree with you on your photo example and that's probably the way I'll go barring any evidence to the contrary.
Ted--those rudder pics are perfect examples of what I'm up against. And I found "S987's" work early on. Amazing work.
Thanks again, ALL.

I fired an email to Robert "S987" since he's done the Marauders.
He's also here at MilitaryMesh.com "luxomodo08"
http://www.military-meshes.com/forum...hread.php?7146
He did the early version also. Very talented modeler and artist.
EDIT: Wow that was fast, just got a response from Robert and he said go with fabric control surfaces. He does extensive research on his work so I believe him.
EDIT2: Just to be clear ask about the rudder (fabric) and elevators/ailerons are metal correct? Awaiting response, but I think that's what I've read. (B26.com).
