Unless there's a specific reason, like someone's relative flew a particular plane, I probably won't do another PBJ-1H. I don't know if I'll ever get round to doing a template for the B-25C either, its a fair bit of work and a lot of the best schemes for it have been done now.

There's one or two more B-25Hs I might do in the future, but right now I feel like a change. Most likely I'll skin a green La-5F on the La-5FN skin as my next project, so long as HTC will accept it.

And you should really take a look at that film guys, some fantastic shots of B-25H straffing passes.

A blue B25, finally a reason to fly it more.

Noticed your work made their website. Nice job. Hoping HT adds it to the skin list. What about Devil Dog? Or a PBJ skin for the other 25?  :salute :)
Noticed this as well! Great job Greebo!

I've submitted it so hopefully it should be in the next skins update. No idea when that will be, it depends when Skuzzy has some spare time I guess.

From the photo I'd say the non-specular sea blue could probably stand a tad more lightening
well the photo has dreadful colour reproduction, really not useful for colours at all. I would say the opposite in fact, the sea blue should be alot darker and bluer to contrast with the intermediate blue.

this has been bugging me a little because it doesnt really look like the USN schemes ive seen. did sea blue really fade that much? it seems an awfully long way from the factory colours:

edit: I should also say its lovely work as usual greebo  :salute

I know what you mean RTHolmes. But take a close look at the black and white photo from earlier in the thread. The dark paint on front lip of the cowlings and on the front of the nose is the same sea blue colour as the top of the aircraft, but unfaded. The coral dust from the island airstrip wore the paint away so they repainted those bits. Note how the faded sea blue is barely distinguishable from the intermediate blue, but the new paint of the same colour is much darker.

Still looking forward to flying this skin, been flying more B25 missions in anticipation. Also fly your VF5 Hellcat skin, love the Tri Color planes.
