You don't see a P-51D in olive green and neutral gray camouflage every day either. The USAAF abolished camouflage in September 1944 in favor of better visibility of its own people... they did, but the 357th, in anticipation of a move to forward airfields on the continent, continued applying camouflage to their aircraft up to Decemeber 1944, sometimes painting just the upper surfaces, sometimes the entire aircraft. The top color was in general not olive drab, but something like RAF Green or anything they could get their hands on

For such stories, the Twin Otter will probably go to the hangar for me...

Beautifully captured this crucial moment...

I like such scenes with bad, opaque weather. That's something different than the California fair-weather flying that you often see in pictures.

sorry, it works ok on my end. Maybe contact Rob, the designer? meanwhile, a few more paints: jk1868 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk1905 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk1894 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk1938 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk1978 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk2087 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk2117 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk2104 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr jk2208 by JanKees Blom , on Flickr

Thank you JK :thumbup:

The twotter suits that paint , well done JK.

Wow ...the great southern land :rockon:

Waaauw...together with your previous Part 1 what a delightful large serie of splendid shots and such a variety of aircrafts and sceneries. All of them first class screenies, very well done. Cheers! - it really is an amazing sim!

Amzing!! love your angles :rockon:

Assume you didn't have to hand-paint the nose art, would take far too long :rolleyes: indeed not. Lots of the WW2 noseart were based on pinup by George Petty or Alberto Vargas. In this case I found a pinup the original pinup the noseart was based on and I used that.

Gern geschehen. Many Thanks. Not so formal. I'm glad you exist and that you forgive me for not flying much in New Zealand at the moment. But I figured those WWII Japanese aicraft "fit into your forum better than in Germany where the Germans are self-centered and in Latvia people have their own concerns and perspective on history...

Why not shoot. I saw my first Cessna O-2 in a pile of scraps at Da Nang Airport, once a huge American base during the Vietnam War. The Vietnamese only fired on her when they were sure to bring her down before she could radio and call in fighter-bombers who napalmed the whole area.

Think this is one good example, that Freeware as such is not dead.

Wow ...great shots JK. I can feel the cold in that last shot ...atmosphere and lighting are amazing, and the surface detail on the Junkers ... :thumbup:

:clap:
