I try not to rely too heavily on Wings Palette for reference images, but it's often a good place to start research as their side profiles let you know what's out there (and a few of them are very good quality themselves): I first really noticed BZ264 on Wings Palette: http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/a/551/9/0#30, but on review I realised I already had pictures of this plane in volume 2 of "2nd Tactical Air Force" (p.256) by Shores and Thomas. Also a google image search (by airframe serial) revealed that wikipedia holds a picture of the same plane, taken a few missions earlier. I would always recommend running a google image search by aircraft serial for RAF / Commonwealth aircraft as this has often given me a lot more sources to work from.
=FEW=Hauggy Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) IS there any of you artists willing to make me a (Free French) Douglas Boston of No. 342 Squadron with the D-Day stripes? I'd be forever thankful. You will find a bunch of pictures in this link. Like this one : Here's a colored example of a plane someone did for me in War Thunder back when I was playing this game, the paint colors are possibly wrong. Edited March 30, 2018 by =FEW=Hauggy 1
BOO Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) I'm guessing olive drab over grey would be the likely base for a lot of the FF aircraft. Edited March 30, 2018 by BOO

The short answer is "yes": But it might be someone who works faster than me! lol I am already committed for the forseeable future (I have 9x Spitfire Skins and a pack of 6x P40's promised), so I hope some other kind soul will grant your wish. BUT, if you can't find another taker I will do it for you as soon as I can. Edited March 30, 2018 by Johnny-Red factual error

RaFiGer Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 @Community I'm preparing a "fake" mission for the JG 1 and a special one dedicated to the Fw-190 A6 from Sturmstaffel 1& Bf-109 G6 from JG 3 (Topcover). Since there are no heavy bomber the A20 suits anyway perfect. Would someone help me out and paint a group (12 different skins) for the area 1943 (RAF bombers) and 1944 (USAAAF bombers) which fit for the A20 eben if there are B25 or Marauders involved? The Timeframe is early 1943 to late end of 1943 and early 1944 till invasion (after that to many USAAF Fighter showed up, and Spitfire alone is not so immersiv

BOO Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I use gimp - is anyone else have problems with the fitting of the layers in the 4K skin? Ive tried 2 fresh psd files and both, when exported, shift many of the elements in the layers to the left. The most noticeable result is that some of the aircraft parts appear on the trailing edge of the rudder and the Russian star is shunted forward. In some areas to the left of the canvas the wire frame and layers seem to fit fine, in others to the right of the canvas it doesn't. Any help appreciated. Edited March 31, 2018 by BOO fixed it

616Sqn_Johnny-Red Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Boston IIIa 88Sqn RH-B BZ264: "B for Beer" was originally Wg Cdr Spencer's plane, but Sqn Ldr GR Pushman and his crew manned it on most sorties. It was active during the first half of 1944, and the skin is based on the aircraft as it was received by 151 Repair Unit for an overhaul. The white symbols on the "bomb-log" represent smoke-laying sorties. Download Here Many thanks to IDCP for the template and to Jason for getting it out to us. Edited April 1, 2018 by Johnny-Red 13 4 6

BOO Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) A20B INVASION STRIPES SET - GIMP PROJECT TEMPLATE http://www.mediafire.com/view/c2ii18e9zbuvcuc/A20_Invasion_Stripes.xcf Sorry, I'm too lazy to take screenshots and this is my first upload here or to Mediafire so I hope it works. The xcf template has the Black and White stripes from 1944 for the A20. It contains 2X USAAF variations (one with the markings cut close to the National Insignia and one where the markings are cut in a larger square around the NI and one RAF version. All version s are "rough cut" to depict their rough field application. No smooth, blended lines here. Each version is depicted in 3 types - Full, Lower surfaces only and removed. In cases where paint is depicted as removed ive attempted to show the distress and discolouration on the factory paint. In total there are 9 variations. Each version has multiple layers (black, White, faded, rough paint etc) to allow the user to blend it and alter colours and effect more easily. National Insignia are also included to all the layer group to be placed OVER the stencilling as I believe would have happened when painted in the field. Finally, Ive included a very quickly done less reflective and shiny alpha (this is intended to help a user ecavulate the paint in game and isn't meant to be a final full version). Sorry its Gimp only. Cheers BOO Edited April 1, 2018 by BOO 1 1
