shes a b25 stationed in georgetown texas ... where i live...

Doesn't look quite right for a B-25H to me...

[whiteman]

when the B-25 won this was the first one that came to mind. hope theres a way to get her in now or in the future.

The basic scheme could be right for a late war PBJ-1J (basically a USMC B-25J, solid nosed in this case). They were painted in overall Sea Blue towards the end of the war. The colour used in the photo looks wrong though.

Unfortunately we are not allowed to skin B-25Js on the B-25H skin, there are loads of schemes I could do if we were.

It would be an interesting skin on the B-25H though. I see it almost every time I go to the Georgetown Airport. (Me and 1sum live in the same town)

Always dangerous using a restored warbird as your example for a skin.  Far too many of them are way off.  It's getting better as folks research better, but there are some really wrong painted warbirds out there and 25s are often included in this.  The blue does look wrong.  I'd want to see a wartime photo of that one too.  I think that's someone's made up paint job.

I think so too, it was made to look good, not look like an actual attack plane. But when I do see it at airshows, there is a little thing that has the history of it on there.

What is the problem with it? Different characteristics to it or something?

The H has the 75mm gun, whreas the J initially had a bomb aimers nose. Later on the glazed nose was replaced by an 8 0.5 inch mg nose on some Js. Either type of J has a nose a fair bit longer than the one on the B-25H and HTC don't like skin substitutions where the outline of the plane is different. Also I suppose there is the possibility they might introduce a B-25J variant some time.

Ah. I forgot the J didn't have a 75mm...
