My Sincere apologies for uploading the wrong skins earlier.
There was a small problem with a RAF roundel in the underside of the wings.
I have now uploaded the correct skinpack, so please erase the previous ones and replace them with this new skinpack.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber that was flown by the United States in World War II and the Korean War. The B-29 remained in service in various roles throughout the 1950s. The British Royal Air Force flew the B-29, named the "Washington" in RAF service.

No. 115 Squadron RAF was a Royal Air Force squadron formed during World War I. It was then equipped with Handley Page heavy bombers. During World War II the squadron served as a bomber squadron and after the war it flew in a similar role till 1958, when it was engaged as a radio calibration unit.
After WW2 the squadron was linked to No. 218 Squadron RAF from 1949 until 1950, it then became a B-29 Washington unit at RAF Marham, again having No. 218 Squadron linked to it. Canberras replaced the B-29 Washingtons in February 1954 and continued in use until disbanding on 1 June 1957.

5 Skinpack includes 4 historical 115 Squadron B-29 Washington´s + One No Squadron markings but with British roundels.

I hope you have a great flight in IL-2
Cheers

Your welcomed good friend.
By the way, some skins have more "shine" than others, because the B-29 RAF "Washington"  bombers
were actually WW2 U.S. aircraft that saw action against japan. Some were pretty much used up and
already considered to be scrapmetal, but the British did a superb job at keeping them flying straight and
proper. They even polished them up quite good for the Queens Jubille party in the 1950´s  8)
They look mighty nice with RAF roundels. I think so.
