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

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

Greebo's got the 24 covered.  :aok

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?  :devil



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

That will work.    :aok

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  :salute

 which way I ought to go from here?
 That depends a good deal on where
 you want to get to. Said the cat."

Thanks, man.

I agree with Caldera, btw.
