Skin I made of my favorite bomber "Hell's Angels" of the 303rd bomb group. This B-17 model is Wakeup Tailgunner's new version with the rounded nacelles and cowls and way cool radial engines. This skin depicts the bomber toward the end of it's career, patched, sun bleached, and oil stained. Just the way I like 'em.

To download this skin go here http://www.rcwarbirds.com/b17texture.htm

Check out the 303rds web site and learn more about this heavy bombing group that made their dent in Axis land.

Absolutely Gorgeous! Will it also work on the current B-17? Is Tailgunner's updated B-17 ready yet?

Thanks very much for your interest in this skin. Go here to download http://www.rcwarbirds.com/b17texture.htm

It will work with the regular B-17 and WT's new version when he releases it.

The B17 mk2 is very nearly ready for release. Hawk has done this very nive skin which, as you can see, really does look nice on the new cowlings. Also, the cowl flaps are modelled on mine, which is why the skin doesn't have them drawn on. Looks really nice!

Just a bit more testing, and I will release the 17.

Not all the planned features have ended up on her, due to time problems, but the structure is there. Anyone wishing to add the other stuff, please feel free!

what you will get:

New engines, new cowlings, cowl flaps that can be shot away, modelled engine, fuel tank fires...as per screenshot... and a new wing DM layout.

Anyway, must get back to 'project X' ....

Close up of Wakeup Tailgunner's cowl with cowl flaps and engine modeling. Thanks WT for making this B-17 the best one in any sim!
