Jolly I think you need to go to the start of the thread & read it from the beginning. :aok It was with the Fifth Airforce.

for a B-25 that "supposedly" is well know, it is sure hard to find anything about it but a short paragraph on it.

Did you ever have any luck with the tail number of that one B-25?
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

No but the nephew has narrowed it down to three possibles based off of the numbers I found with my software from Kodak. I sent him a link from a forensics place that specialises in that sort of thing.

Another picture has emerged & it looks like the aircraft had a new paint job added towards wars end. From bare metal to what looks like OD/NG.

Frankly, striving to get the right number on the tail is nice, but it's a small detail when you have confirmation on all the other details being correct. IMO I say it's not wrong to skin Powerhouse using the tail code for Dutch.

You're getting a similar plane at the same time and same place, and you've done your best to get all the details right. If that one number is the ONLY thing keeping people from making the skin, I am of the much-though-out opinion (I have debated this internally several times before and always come out with the same answer) that the tail code just has to look right. 99% of people won't know it's wrong, and those that do probably have read this thread and will understand. It's not like you're picking random numbers for it. You're taking the number from one of the other planes it flew with.

Well it has been narrowed down to three possibility's based off the assumption that the aircraft in the background of Dutch is Powerhouse. It was only possible to get a portion of the tail numbers & with what was legible it only left three possabilities. So it's up to you skinners if near enough is good enough on this one.

Well some one figured out the tail number. You can pick bare metal or OD green as well.  :rock

I got three of them right.
