Hi my name is Robert and I have been working on a Deenethorpe addon for a Flight Sim game. First I want to thank all that have assisted me in this project as their help is invaluable to me. As part of this project I want to include some of the 401'st aircraft as repaints for an excellent B-17 addon that was put out. What this would mean is that anybody that has purchased the Wings of Power addon would get many 401'st B-17's added to their game to fly from the base. What I am looking for is information and expecially noseart pics of aircraft flown from this unit to use in the repaint process. The basic unit markings I can get pretty easy but getting pic's of noseart that can be used for repainting is pretty hard. What I would need is a color pic of the noseart from the side. And angle could work but it would have to be a very slight angle. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Also if their is a spefic aircraft of perticular importance to the unit I will try my best to include it. Thank you for any assistance in this project.

I forgot to mention that this is for the G model aircraft at this time. I might be able to do F model inthe future.

Here is a link to a pic of heavy Date. I am now able to do metal finish repaints. I hope you guys think that this is going to be acceptable. Just copy the link into your browser and take a look.

Robert,
Could not get to the page but very interested as I am just finishing up a 138" wingspan radio control model of Heavy Date. It was displayed at the reunion.

Robert!  Looking good my friend.  Sorry I haven't been in touch lately, but thanks to SP2 being loaded on my XP Home ... FS9 went to hell in a hand basket and I've had to uninstall both FS9 and SP2.  FS9 works with XP Home and SP1 just fine so I'm not installing SP2.   However, I can't remember what and where I put Deenethorope. 😞  Also I have not as yet bought the WOP add on either.  (Mostly because of the problems with XP SP2.)
