Might be post-war. When looking for foreign planes I found a lot of chinese P-38s and other planes, but all were handed over AFTER the war was over (surplus).

Can you post the file for the B25H so I can start working on it while the HiRes pack downloads?

Here you go, TK.

I'd also suggest the second one, those stripes are indeed very interesting and would quite a rewarding challenge, I expect.

It's not unheard of. Early Allison-powered mustangs had them. Many P-47s in the PTO had them. Even some P-51Ds (and/or later marks??) had similar stripes.

Not too much of a stretch to see them on a B-25. Only, most of the ones I've seen are white (over OD) or black (over NMF). Blue is a bit odd, and may be an interpretation or artist error.

Those stripes are a theater marking for the 1st Air Commando Group, CBI.

They were white for the OD planes and various colors for other planes depending on finishes.  I do not think that "blue" for a natual finish B-25 would be that out of the range of probability.

I thought most of 1st ACG's BMF planes had black stripes?

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
