Wrench Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Yes, still working in the 1950s....don't forget, there's a terrain in for overhaul, so we'll needing the right planes for it! Anyway, WIP on the B-26B Invader, 13th BS. This aircraft is dedicated to our very own Fubar512, from The Garden State: a little close up... 8-12 historical nose arts, with a few 'borrowed' from AllenJB's Invader skins. Some are 'interperative' - meaning I had to make do with what art I have in stock, as some have no or very unclear pictures. Don't even ask me how I'm going to do 7th Chadwick as a decal...I haven't thought that far ahead yet (and it gonna be a nightmare!!! One big one for the nose and fues) New, historical serial & buzz numbers, too Wrench kevin stein Quote
kukulino Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Great!!! We need more good planes for upcoming Korea update :yes: Quote
Wrench Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 And I finally get to use that Marylin Monroe I've been saving, too!!! Last night whislt doing up the decal, I noticed a great deal of physical simularitiy between her and Little Annie Fanny (those too young to know, can google her). I wonder if the artist that created the fake, didn't use LAF as the body type. The art above, is AFTER 'fixing' under orders from the squadron's chaplin -- that's a historic fact! Also, a Marylin take-off. Wrench kevin stein Quote

+Dave Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Hey Kevin you want me to go to the USAF Museum and get you some detailed pics of the Invader they have there? Quote
Wrench Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Brother, I"ll take anything I can get! If you can find out about illuminator flare ... I added them to the Invaders for those night interdiction misisons ... meaning as to 'how and where' they were mounted and/or dropped. I also updated the weapondata on them, data ini wise, so they don't get popped as CMs Got about 5-8 more nose arts to do, then it'll be ready (excepting Chadwick...still trying to figure that one out) Some nose art, is as always, 'interperative' = meaning I filled in with the pinups I have. Some are 100%, others not so close. Wrench kevin stein Quote
sparkomatic Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 just for the record, I had to look up "Annie Fanny"... Quote
Wrench Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 ??? I'm shocked!!! SHOCKED!!!! I tell you!! The Great Sparko, expert in the female anatomy, didn't know about LAF???!!!! <sigh> I guess I'm showing MY age!! Wrench kevin stein Quote
