You are right about that, Malone, but that is where I got all the pictures I used. Thanks for the help, anyway. Great to hear, Mexchiwa.

Thanks, Mexchiwa, looking forward to it. Meanwhile, since I can't do any of the camouflaged birds, I present to you the star of Catch-22, N9451Z (Painted as 39451Z, 6V, "Dumbo"). In case you guys don't know, Dumbo is Yossarian's plane. It's never explicitly said so, but in the scene where Doc Daneeka explains the concept of Catch-22, Yossarian notices Dumbo passing by and enters it. Some of the noseart can be seen when Yossarian flips off Colonel Catchcart as well. Three planes were painted as 6V: N9451Z (This one), N9452Z (Noseart later painted over, tail changed to 6W) and the incomplete nose section used during the bombing scenes. This is the first of the three B-25s modified (poorly) to look like early C models. Oddly, they still had the tail and waist turrets. I could go on and on, but instead here are some pictures:





Now all we need is a Yossarian skin for the bombardier, and a model that can flip people off!

Great painting and skin-art Maty  I am really enjoying your skins.
I also like those photos posted earlier. Great eye-candy!
Thank you !

Thanks, Max. The pictures are almost all from aerovintagebooks.com. Their facts are almost completely right, except for the tail number being 6N when they say it's 6X. As of news, I just finished 6J "Annzas". Camo was mostly created by me, but I'm pretty darn proud of it!





I recommend checking their website very much, they even have pictures of the camera planes: http://www.aerovintage.com/catchb25.htm
Just click on the picture of the plane you want to check out

the camo is looking sweet!

[Maty12]

Thank you. I did like 5 versions of 6J (Every version is an improved one, at the end all are deleted but the best one), 3 just to get the tail number right (The rudder hinge covered part of the J on one side and the 6 on the other)! Well, that's 9 and a half out of 17 done.

Not too happy with the noseart, but the game model is different from the real life thing. I am happy about the camo. Think I'm starting to get good at this guess work. Anyway, I give you 6N, better known as the Berlin Express:

What a great job you´re making of my humble wish! Theese look really nice!

[Maty12]

Just found a new picture of 6N, so I'm gonna have to fix her up. After that, I'm doing 6S, then 6W And 6Y Luscious Lulu.

[Maty12]

So here's the Berlin Express (6N), fixed version:




And here's 6S and my attempt to recreate the crash sequence:

And here's 6Y, known as "Luscious Lulu"

[Maty12]

I realized that it'd make more sense for there to be four B-25Cs (A whole flight), So I decided to do the camera planes. Also tweaked N9452Z so that it's marked as 6W. Anyway, here are 6A and 6E:
