Twizard Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 View File SBD-5 Atlantic 1944 Scheme In 1944 the SBD-5s used in Marine Scout units in the Caribbean. This is my first skin, originally done in Gimp. 2.6.8. If you want to make any enhancements let me know and I could send you the original .xcf file Submitter Twizard Submitted 07/26/2011 Category SBD Skins Quote
charlielima Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Bitchin, hella wicked, and thanks! I have been sniveling for this skin for ages. This Marine Corps squadron flew SBDs out of the US Virgin Islands performing ASW patrols. CL Quote
Twizard Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Yep, I have a mission using the Pacific Islands Map, where a flight responds to a call from a PBY. There is a Nazi "raider" (cargo ship, or even better a trawler because they have guns) that is a disguised U-boat tender. Its caught imn the act of tending 3 U-boats. The SBDs come to the aid of the PBY and later a PB4Y (B-24) joins the party. I'm working on 1941 and 42 skins for the A-24 (USAAF version of SBD) for use in New Guinea and defense of Java "Malaysia Singapore Map". Quote
charlielima Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Awesome. Sounds like a job for A-26s with torps in the sea blue skin I sniveled for from flying legends. PBJs would be slick if we had them. CL Quote
Twizard Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Using the same map, I have a pair of SBDs patrolling near a French controlled island (the Colonial Administrators have Vichy French sympathies). They spot another raider (trawler selected blue Axis, if you can ignore the Russian flag) as nestled in a lagoon with two U boats. Its actually a much more difficult mission than the first. Its hard not to get shot down! Quote
