The fading paint is a nice effect, but I think it needs to be more uniform and less splotchy.  Also, I'd go ahead and use the glass nose variant for the screenies, in order to match the profile.

Wow, Nate!  That is truly impressive.  It looks as if you've been doing this for years!

Well I changed to a VMB-611 scheme, which this could possibly change again depending on HTCs stance on the nose mounted radar.

Looks pretty good to me. I think it should be OK we have a B25H that had a dome on the wing allowed.

any word on if this was OK. Would like to see it in in game since it would mean a new Navy AC the squad can fly.

It would be nice if we could get the gun blisters on the glass nose like all the VMB-611 B-25D's

BTW Stoney some of the VMB-611 aircraft were very splotchy, this was the one I was working on for a skin (VMB-611 MB3). I suspect that the splotchyness <sp> was only temporary as most photo's show it being more even.

All of VMB-611's B-25D's were from the last production block they had some pretty interesting features;
