Only two I've found in my stuff so far.

First is Silver Dollar.

The profile shows it after it had turrets removed and was being used as a "hack" but the markings would be correct for it's operational time as it clearly has the mission symbols etc. The black rudder was late war 100th too.

Next is "Super Rabbit" You can never have too much Bugs Bunny

Read the caption

IT was involved in an accident and declared salvage. But the 100th guys repaired it and used it for running errands, joyriding etc. Take the turrets off and it's a lot lighter and obviously if it's not flying combat it sure didn't need turrets.

I guess it does make sense. And i will say, without those turrets, it does look rather beutiful. I only wish we could get a view out of that rear-ventral-window-thing. That would be awesome!

Thanks. I think the F looks pretty. If only we could have another gun in the dorsal window...

Great stuff Bruno. Thanks

Is the 100BG the group that "Thunderbird" belonged to?

Fencer51 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2006, 08:29:19 AM »

Yeah it is, why is someone doing her already? If so I will do another group, the 306th and 303rd are also well known groups.

btw Thanks Bruno, I found that after your previous link in the other topic.

Cheers.
