Not that I will ever skin a B-24, but this was still very cool. Thanks for sharing.

<DeNiro voice>   "Oh yes, you damn well will!"

The B-24 is too cool for you not to skin.

Greebo's got the 24 covered. 

Now an updated Ju88? That might be an offer I can't refuse.

Alright then, make me a Hellcat that looks like it's been rode hard and put away wet.   They all look too clean and shiny.

How about this crispy critter? 



Clearly it was ridden hard, and the fire crews must have used something wet to put out the flames.

That will work.   

Don't forget the charring and scorch marks.   My Hellcats usually end up that way, so why not start out that way too?

This thread reminded me of a book I read many years
ago about a Liberator named the Lady Be Good.
It got lost on a Poesti raid. They found it it the southern
Sahara I think

Thanks, man.

I agree with Caldera, btw.
