Goons for Stalin's Fourth scenario
« on: February 19, 2006, 11:31:07 AM »
Kanttori asked me to make a couple of goons for the Stalin's Fourth scenario. The Finnish one is actually based on the FiAF's sole DC-2, nicknamed Hanssin Jukka. As such it is unlikely to make the MA, (wrong plane and only one of them). It has a few issues due to the extensive mirroring on this skin; half the insignia are reversed etc.

The Soviet skin is a Lisunov Li 2BT (licensed produced C-47 with Russian engines). There were plenty of Li-2s produced and apart from the lack of an upper turret I've been able to skin most of the visible Li-2 differences in, so hopefully this will get into the MA.

Both these are now up at The Skin Department

Great skins, thank you Greebo!

Remember to send the Li-2 soon to Skuzzy, I have informed him. The Finnish "Hanssin Jukka" is coming as a default skin to Karelia terrain. The next update is coming out in the beginning of March and it cotains him (Hanssin Jukka is male...)! :D

Thank you for your kind words guys.

Yes Cit, that was pretty much my thinking and I've found a few interesting schemes. I've got a profile of a USN R4D done in the dark/intermediate blue and white scheme. Then there is a USAAF desert scheme in brown and green. Or I might try a silver goon. Not that it would get flown much, of course. :)

I've been looking for info on the Japanese version of the DC-3, the Showa L2D. I've only located a few grainy black and white photos and a poor quality profile. Not found one with an interesting set of markings yet though, just green and grey with the basic national markings.

The RAF goon was pretty much a given for me and is almost done:

Why not add a turret!?

That would be a very nice addition (having some modicum of defensive capabilities) to the Goonie.
