Thank You Beepee , fantastic work ,
Yes, you're right, sorry!Originally Posted by beepee
I downloaded it by mistake and it remained in the group I attached here. Miss America 44 is already flying in my Italian unfriendly skies...
A THOUSAND THANKS FOR ALL THE OTHER REPAINTS YOU UPLOADED!!
Cheers!

Nice job !!!
Are you planning on painting this one ?
Kelti, I just finished drawing the B-24J Liberator "44-440101: v2-0+", "Tubarao" 491st BG Assembly Ship , early 1945....
It was hard to make the shark mouth, due to texure maping in the mdl model. But I think it is quite good enough to get uploaded to night
Cheers
It is going to be hard, but I will try to paint it...Nice job !!!

Note that Krzysztof Malinowski already made a very good skin for this plane.
Cheers

Magnificent!!
Hi Beepee,
"Tuberao" is stunning!You are working too hard, allow some rest to your eyes or you will pay a heavy toll on your eyesight!
What's wrong with the shark mouth? I think it's perfect, considering how tough is working with the somewhat casual mapping of CFS2 stock textures. Please, let me tell you I think the red band on the cowl (the only one over the other three engines) is on the inner engine, according to the profile. Your screenshot shows it on the external engine. Just a minor detail, the rest of this splendid repaint must have taken a good effort to accomplish.
Another comment, if I may, about "Little Lulu". Are you sure the profile I attached is in desert camouflage? Considering the comment on the profile, "Little Lulu" was shot down by a Bf109 in August 1944 over an Eastern Europe target. By the end of 1943, almost all of 15th USAAF bombers had switched to temperate olive drab and light grey camo pattern, from the desert livery they had when they arrived from North African bases.
"Little Lulu" profile I got from Wings Palette looks to me more like a faded olive drab livery than a desert pink one. On the other hand, I might be wrong and I am making this comment based more on reasoning than the colour shown in the profile. I am famous for having taken a colour hue for another often times. My "girl"friend gets a huge kick out of it everytime!
Thank you very much for your hard work!
Cheers!

Hi Kelti
You are right, I mistaken with the red band on the left inner engine.
There was also an artifact under the shark mouth, in the lower front part (a red band that has not to be there)
I got rid of that and I also redrown the theeth (particularly the lower)of the smark mooth.
I think the model is now quite good (see the real picture of the bird)
Here is a new zip with the updated textures
.
Rami please, can you be kind enough to replace the updated zip in the library has I don't know haw to do that. Tanks again for that
Concerning "Little Lulu",
The picture I founded on the net shows her in an in-between dark sand/pale olive drab color
So I painted her skin over a sand bakground that I made a little darker...
I thought, that was the best way to look close to the profile I got...
I will try to found more info on the net for her exact color...

Holy Liberators, Beepee!
Thank you so much for correcting "Tubarao", but I didn't mean you to go and repaint once more "Little Lulu"!
I was just wondering if my reasoning, about how "Little Lulu" must have looked when she was shot down, was correct. If you think that at the time USAAF had already stripped down their aircraft fleet to natural metal finish, in order to lure Luftwaffe fighter units into combat and save weight, any guess is good. After all, Wings Palette did post incorrect profiles every now and then.
Anyway, thank you again for your ongoing effort. As many others here, I think there will never be too many historical repaints for our virtual aviation history museum!
Cheers!

The former version of the nose art for "lLittle Lulu" was a little fuzzy... so I uploaded a new version with a cleaner nose art, and some others minor modifications
Rami please again... can you delete my former "Little Lulu V2" upload in the library
Thanks again
And by the way, as I don't want to bother you again with updating files in the library, can you explain me how to do it myself ?
Cheers
Beepee

More realistic overall olive drab color finish, and modified nose art from WWI picture of the bird.
The first version of the nose art was a little fuzzy, so I made a new one more clean.

YEAH MAN, THIS IS PURE MAGIC!P.S.: Beepee, since you decided to double your effort, I gather you found confirmation she was painted in olive drab. Let me ask you, where did you find the info and "Little Lulu" B/W picture?
THANK YOU!

I'd like to see if I can find more info about 1944-45 15th USAAF ops in Northern Italy, do you happen to know how to get access to declassified USAAF records of the period? Providing they were uploaded to the Net.
Thank you again Rami for updating this file
