Funny, that's where I found the pic of "Sue".  :lol

Note that all color photos of that era have to be taken with a grain of salt for various reasons.  True colors are not necessarily represented by what you see, some photos are better than others.  The best you can do is research the paints in use and what paints they might have used to actually paint the AC.

The 50 cal's had some sort of metal shroud on them.  You are too used to that poorly designed light bomber you like.

No doubt!   don't know how I missed the pic of Sue...

Fencer, those skins are simply badass!   Regardless of the "color critique", they look just as accurate as any photo's I have come across.   Thanks for these!    :rock

Some really nice work there my partitioning friend.  One thought for discussion:  is the transition area and gaps between and aft of the cowl flaps a little heavy?

Found a couple of colour photos of Major Bostwicks aircraft.
Your skin is a very close to perfect except the band near the canopy? Not quite the same.

I would hazard a guess that those are not actually color photos, I think they have been colorized.  I have BW copies of those and I was comfortable with the accuracy of the band.  I will take a look at it again before I submit to make sure though.
