Skins for Allen's new B-24J Liberator by Beepee!

[beepee]

I Uploaded today a new skin for Allen B24J Liberator
The package contains skin textures for :
B-24J-1-NT "Kathryn Anne/Dopey" serial 42-78600,
Flown by llt Robert McKee, 98th BG. Marcianise, Italy. Ap,il 1945
This Liberator earned the dubious distinction of being the very last B-24 to seek refuge in Switzerland during World War 2. The bomber touching down at Dubendorf with battle damage on 8 April 1th 945.

From my researchs on the net, I think that the cowlings were red...and not silver like in the drawing.
The colors of Dopey are from my own feeling, interpreted from Dopey pictures founded on the net...
Enjoy

I upload today a new skin for Allen B24-J Liberator
The package contains skin textures for :
B-24J-20-FO "Sissy Lee" serial 42-51974,
flown by 1lt Joseph C Clayton, 456th BG. 15th AF February 1945
This aircraft was one of six Fifteenth Air Force J-24s that landed i n Switzerland following the large raid on the marshalling yards at Augsburg
on 27 February 1 945.
Intercepted by Swiss fighters once in neutral airspace, the bomber landed at Oubendorf with its number one engine shut down
The cowl rings, shawn in red in most pictures of the bird, are estimated, as reference used appeared to show them in a coloured shade.
The WWII photos founded on the net show that only the left outer engine cowling was painted (red or coloured shade ?)


Enjoy

I made for you an other people interested with 15th AF in Italy a specific file about 15th AF tail markings
Here it is, feel free to download it

By the way, as the tail markings of the 15th AF changed after june 1944, I drawn a new skin for the B-24J "Patches" in the configuration of late 1944 markings. That is with 55th Bomb Wing recognition markings:black-and-yellow chekerboard painted on the rear left stabilizer, and a black diamond on the right stabilizer.

I will upload it soon
Cheers
