In 1944 the A-26B, the replacement for the A-20, was put into the field in the Pacific and the European theatres with the 5th and 9th air forces.
She was not well-received by the 5th, and played an extremely small part in combat action there, serving in a mix of A-20s with the Grim Reapers. She suffered from poor visibility from the cockpit....claimed the Reapers.
However, the 9th couldn't get enough of the 26s, and complained about the lack of C model (Glass Nose) availability. The C was not to be had and many, many 26B solid nose planes accounted for over 18,000 sorties in the European theatre.
Sooooooooooo, we're thinking that the fine little Fox Four B-26B (Korean War designation for the A-26) of Korean War fame might make a good candidate for conversion to WWII.
The crew has already started work over at hangar six.

Tom ... it's like popcorn, ain't it? Sure ... you start out eating a single piece at a time ... and before you're done ... it's by the fistful! (LOL ... personal experience at play).
Looking good and happy to see even more from your hangers!

Got the kinks worked-out of the MDL and her first skin is ready to roll (courtesy of SopwithC's Paint Shop (
http://sopwithc.wetpaint.com
).
She's a M-A-J-O-R BABE....and I've seen her without her makeup! And she's got a great DVC courtesy of Bismarck13. Armed with the '8-Gun Nose' and the '6-Gun Wing' field mod, this baby can put 16 .50s on target...with the dorsal turret locked forward.
Sugarland is undergoing final flight testing prior to posting.

I see that you fixed the anti-glare panel glitch! Very nice! Now that it's installed, I remember what the glitch was - mirrored textures. Good job!!
