You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
I’ll hope it’s an SP-2H Neptune...but I know that would be a stretch! Virtavia’s model is long in the tooth and the flight dynamics are....less than optimum.
Bottom line is that I’ll pretty much buy anything you do, Mike. The C-54/DC-4 package is particularly BRILLIANT...

Its too bad that a lot more of it wasn't saved. Its so difficult to paint nose art from b/w blurry photos when that is all that's left of our history of these gallatn crews and their aircraft. We ARE fortunate to have as much as we have thanks to men like them who cared enough to at least preserve those for following generations.
I'll second that! I really enjoy the difficulty level of operating the Jumos on the 262. To be able to get it started, make a trip and then land without a flameout..... I feel like I accomplished something! Now it's no sweat to fly, just be a couple steps ahead of the plane so you can use slow throttle inputs! (Now I know why they flew long straight finals!) Now I want to see FHC's Stormbird in the air! (The Stuka too!)

I've got a few 566th BS, 389th BG paint schemes nearly done, including "Pugnacious Princess Pat" (close to my heart) and "Delectable Dorris". I also hope to do the Collings B-24 in at least a couple of different schemes - both as I remember it when I was a young kid growing up as "The All American"/"Schlitz Golden Girl", and now as "Witchcraft" (my absolute favorite of the schemes it has worn is "The Dragon and His Tail", but I don't know if I'd ever be able to fully invest the time to recreate the artwork for that one).
Also, if no one else does them, I'm going to have to do a few of the Liberators that Jimmy Stewart flew on, as Squadron Commander of the 703rd BS, 445th BG (12 missions) and as Observations Officer of the 453rd BG (at least 8 missions). Those that are documented that Stewart flew missions on are:
B-24H "Lady Shamrock" (42-52348) - 703rd BS, 445th BG (4 of his missions)
B-24H "Nine Yanks and a Jerk" (41-29118) - 703rd BS, 445th BG (2 for his missions)
B-24H "Tenovus" (41-29132) - 703rd BS, 445th BG (2 of his missions, and the aircraft he flew on when taking the Southern Route to England from the US)
B-24H "Gremlin's Roost" (42-7512) - 703rd BS, 445th BG (1 of his missions (his first))
B-24H "Dixie Flyer" (42-95247) - 703rd BS, 445th BG (1 of his missions)
B-24H "Heavenly Body" (41-29210) - 733rd BS, 453rd BG (at least 1 or more of his missions)
Other than the five 703rd BS B-24's listed above, the other 2 missions he flew as Commander of the 703rd were on wing lead Pathfinder B-24's (Mickey radar/H2X equipped), identities of which I'm not aware of.
Unfortunately, other than "Heavenly Body", I'm not aware of any other B-24's being confirmed that Stewart flew missions on as the 453rd BG's Observations Officer, and I've read three different books detailing his service time in WWII. The 453rd BG B-24H "Male Call" is often credited as one that Jimmy Stewart flew missions on, and which may have been the case on a mission or two, but I've never seen documentation/proof of that. Corgi, the diecast model maker, has really gone out there and claimed it has being 'his' B-24, but Stewart never had an assigned B-24 or an assigned crew, due to him being one of the superior officers controlling everything. The easy connection to the B-24 "Male Call" is that there were a series of publicity photos taken of him talking to its crew in front of the aircraft (and it's a fantastic paint scheme).

Most people forget a lot of the theaters that our men and women served in. My dad served on U-boat patrol in the Panama Canal Zone (North American Campaign Medal); others in the Aleutians or Greenland or Iceland or Italy where our 461st BG(V) is honoring those veterans. The Mighty Eighth and Europe is usually the most famous of war zones and every bit of honor goes to all of them but to all the other WWII vet's as well."All gave some and some gave ALL". A big salute to all the members of the greatest generation. My grandparents best friends husband served in both WWI (lied about his age) and then was drafted in WWII and wounded at Normandy. He had shrapnel in his leg that they couldn't remove so he couldn't drive. Either my grandfather or my dad and I would pick him and his wife up for all the family gatherings and then take them home. He never talked about it. My grandfather told me when I asked one time. I don't know what the PBY Catalinas looked like that my dad operated with because he said that they couldn't take any pictures. The only pictures he had are of Panama, Baranquilla Colombia and the Galapagos Islands he took on liberty.
Hey Matt,
You just continue to create great repaints. I can't wait until Mike releases the B24 package and everyone can share these on the aircraft and fly them. Ed and i are looking for a lot of new pilots when that happens but whether they join us or just buy it for their own hangers, anyone who loves the B24 needs to support Mike's efforts and those of all the repainters here who gave tirelessly of their time and endured all the "cramps" of long hours with the mouse in Photoshop or whatever you use. Hats off to mike_cyul and all the repainters from one of you.
Outstanding formation ship repaints, Matt!

Hey Jeansy,
How did you get the group together or is it Photoshop magic?
