Korean Invaders....

[Wrench 9,780]

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

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.

Hey Kevin you want me to go to the USAF Museum and get you some detailed pics of the Invader they have there?

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.
