This bird is quite a BuzzSaw now.



All it has to do is show up and targets voluntarily explode.

I have been a bit tied up for the past few days, but I have managed too rework the nose a bit.

Beautiful screen shots Chris! Thank you for posting those.

No worries Steve. I must say that is an improvement though. A very good blend from fuselage to nose.
Thanks for putting in the time on this.

Here are the new nose textures for the RAAF model for you too try. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m3glccmgm8...20new.zip?dl=0
And I have just noticed that the left engine textures need a little adjustment where the underside paint meets the cowl ring, back in a bit with a fix.

No worries MR, I started the RAAF paint scheme so I may as well finish it.

Hi SteveB, Great work. I am still trying to get CFS2 to work in Windows 10, but that aside and looking at the screenshots from MR it occurs to me that the crew need RAAF uniforms, or at least new caps. There are some good photos of Boston crews and their aircraft on the Australian War Memorial website and a whole section on Boston serials and 22 squadron markings on the ADF serials website, where there are some good colour photos of restored Bostons at Amberley in Queensland and Point Cook in Victoria. Also useful is the Wings Pallette site.
Years ago someone did a repaint for the ALPHAsim Boston in the markings of Bill Newton's aircraft "Spirit of Sport". Any interest in doing this repaint for what must now be considered the definitive A-20C?
This set of profiles might be useful, ir a litttle on the small side. The aircraft are A28-9 (DU-K), A28-9 (DU-K in later livery) "She's Apples", A28-16 (R) "Indoor Sport", A28-15 (DU-Q) "Spirit of Sport", A28-13 (B) "OOO!", A28-28 (DU-U) "Retribution", A28-22 ( no other markings, Australia 1942), A28-6 "Japanese Ghost Producer", A-20G A28-78 (DU-R) note US serials (photos of underwing US markings).

Cheers,
Michael

I thought I had already provided a RAF crew set, or maybe I meant too and forgot, easy too do when there are over 30 different schemes in 4 different sim's too keep track of.
I still have 6 schemes underway awaiting completion for both the C and G models. So I cannot commit too any more schemes at the moment. My paintshop pro 7 layered masters are available for the RAAF cammo if anyone wants too have them and take on some repaints.

If you have a link for the layered masters Steve, that would be great!

Give me 30 min's ish and I'll get them uploaded too dropbox and post a link. I keep layered masters for each paint I make so if you want any of the others just holler.

Here you go the fuselage and engine textures have optional belly colours included included. These are the masters produced by Wellis, that I butchered/modified too work in my old Jasc paint shop pro 7.

Got them Steve. They open up fine in my Psp.7. Thank you!
Now let's see what kind of damage I can do.
