Author Topic: French Boston (Read 1208 times)

I've just uploaded another Boston skin to The Skin Department. This is a DB-7 of the French Armee de l'Air from 1940. There is not much info out there for DB-7s of this period, the photos I have looked at show no squadron numbers or badges and no standard colour scheme layout. Later, when these aircraft were operated from North Africa by the Vichy government they sported white ID stripes and squad markings. So this is a generic 1940 scheme rather than any particular aircraft.

Mon ami! Fantastique!

Get a P-47D and a Yak in French colors as well, and they actually have quite a potent little strike force...

Throw in the P38s, P51s and Mustangs as well as the B26s and they aren't doing too bad either

Geebo could you make a skin like this one for the A20 ?

I can ask for the profile if you need it.

Airmess kindly sent me a profile on this particular aircraft. What put me off is that it isn't an A-20G, its a glass nosed A-20J. I wasn't sure if Skuzzy would pass it or not. Still, I'll put it on my list of future projects, but I'll ask Skuzzy before starting it.

Currently I'm working on a D Day striped A-20G, but first I've got to repackage all my submissions with an info.txt file.
