Good looking repaint on a great looking model.
Jan Kees, I hope you have a special relationship with MSFS Devs, you must have the most complete hangar in the business!

now that you mention it...no, not really.
I went back and had a look, I've done paints for 86 different aircraft models for MSFS so far (I think), 1 more coming real soon.
54 (55 soon) payware, 32 freeware aircraft, and I think I paid for nearly all 55 of them.... oh well, it's hobby, and they are supposed to cost money, no?

Great that you apply your skills to these historic aircraft.
I often get taken down that rabbit hole to stories like this:

DeBlanc was forced to bail out at low altitude over Vella Gulf near Japanese-held Kolombangara...
Landing in the sea, DeBlanc discovered that he was badly wounded in the back, arms and legs. Supported only by his life jacket, he swam for the beach. After six hours in the water, he reached shore, and for three days subsisted on coconuts he found in an abandoned hut while his wounds went unattended. He was taken by a group of indigenous people who bartered him for a sack of rice to another tribe

O the tales of War
