New B25J Skin request
I do't have a skin under construction as I'm not talented in that area but I do have an input/request for a new B25J skin unlike any that are currently implemented. Here is the diecast version where I first noticed the skin:

Here is a close-up photo of that particular aircraft today:

Scroll through this link to see actual wartime photo's of this squadron in action in the Med.

Note that many of the planes feature this very unique and catchy paint scheme. Typically you see olive drab or aluminum in the B25's so I think this would be an awesome new addition. Anyway I am anxious for any feedback and thoughts.

IIRC the B25C and B25H can't be skinned as B25J's.

That's based on a warbird B25J that is painted as a B25C/D of the 340th BG in the MTO. That shadow shading seems to be particular to that group.
Some photos from a couple different sources showing them in that kind of camo. it would work for an AH 25C glass nose.

That's a very nice/interesting skin. Guppy, what is that big black patch on the top photo you posted?

Afk for a year or so. The name of a gun turret in game. Falanx, huh?
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

I would say the shadow from the tail of the plane above it taking the photo.
