Hi

'Tis with great pleasure that I've uploaded my first set of skins in a looong time, and my first released for Il-2 FB. The skins depict RAF Bostons Mk.III and Hovocs Mk.I flown by the RAF between 1940 and early 1943. Here they are :

Boston III s/n AH 433, training machine flown in the US :


Boston III RH°T, s/n unknown, No.88 Sqn, Spring 1942 :


Boston III RH°U s/n AL 693, No.88 Sqn, Dieppe, August 1942 :


Havoc I YP°P s/n BJ 471, No.23 Sqn, 1941 :


Havoc I YP°F s/n BD 121, No.23 Sqn, late 1941/early 1942 :


Havoc I s/n BJ 496, No.23 Sqn, 1941 in experimental night intruder camo scheme, represented in two different colours sets :




Boston III TH°G s/n unknown, No.418 'City Of Edmonton' Sqn, RCAF, winter 1942/1943 :


Many thanks to Kristorf, Rudi_Jaeger and Hayate whose help was invaluable. Special thanks to Imme for the template.

They're uploaded and have been approved at M4T.

Hope you like them !

Cheers

Nico

Superb. Very realistic quality. Amongst the best RAF skins I have seen.

By the what map is that on the last 3 shots?

Very nice. That plane has to be one of the most under-appreciated allied planes. Not the fastest bomber but it wasn't slow by any measure either.
