Anyone interested in making B-26 Marauder skin?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm excitited that they've finally added the B-26 to the game, as my grandpa flew them in the war. Curious if anyone here would be interested in making a custom skin based on some photos I have of a B-26 my grandpa flew? This particular aircraft completed 185 missions, the last of which was when my grandpa made an emergency landing after being hit by flak. It would be so cool to be able to see it in game and take some screen shots.

After the emergency landing. My grandpa with his back to the camera speaking to his co-pilot.

 

I have more photos showing the tail number, etc.

Hi @RPGreg2600,

Unfortunately, I have not enough free time to make this skin but I feel moved by the story of your grand father, his crew and their faithful B-26.

B-26C-15-MO Marauder "Hell's Belle" (41-34967) coded WT_R, of 323rd BG/456th BS.

I found its right side nose art on DeviantArt and, after some modifications, add it on a very basic mat olive drab/neutral grey skin. Does it look accurate (colors, size,...) ?

Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I forgot I posted this and just now remembered! ? That looks pretty good! Would be super cool to get the other markings in there too at some point. 

 

Thanks!!
