Bare metal USAAF B-25D.
« on: February 10, 2018, 10:13:22 PM »
Since it has been a long while since a new B-25C has been added to the game I was trolling Facebook and found a few photos of an interesting B-25D. First off its bare metal and we don't have a USAAF B-25 that fits that description also it has the late J model strafing nose.  :headscratch: Not sure if it is Kosher for a skin or not?
We already have its predecessor aircraft in game now Dirty Dora.

Dirty Dora
      II

499TH Bomb Squadron 345th Bomb Group.

At this point I think it is a squadron hack.

Not DDII but another all-metal for comparison...

Used to track Japanese radar apparently which is why they needed the D model as the space behind the pilot's was where the radar detection gear went.
