The North American B-45 Tornado was one of the most important American aircraft of the early Cold War period, and one of the least remembered today. It was the first bomber-sized jet bomber in service anywhere in the world, first jet to drop a live atomic bomb, first jet to cross the North Pacific non-stop (Alaska to Japan,) first jet to fly the North Atlantic (with stops), NATO forces’ first and for some time only nuclear deterrent, first reconnaissance plane to fly deep penetration missions over North Korea, the People’s Republic of China, and the Soviet Union, and first aircraft to routinely use in-flight refueling on combat missions. The package includes twenty models and three dozen authentic skins depicting every major variant and numerous minor and sub-variants as they appeared throughout the type’s service life. A detailed manual explains some of the type’s unique operational procedures. Mostly by David Wooster with some help and skins painted by Mick.

Built as a Liberator Mk 1 for the Royal Air Force, AM927 was involved in a landing incident, major enough for the aircraft to be returned to Consolidated for repair, and then conversion to the prototype LB-30. Retained by Consolidated, it was used to shuttle parts and executives between factories. In November 1948, AM927 was sold to the Continental Can Company as N1503 and outfitted with sleeping berths and reclining chairs to transport executives from its hometown of Morristown NJ. I have copied an old photograph of N1503 as she originally looked in service with Continental Can. In 1959 she was sold to Pemex, a Mexican oil company as XC-CAY. In 1969 the Confederate Air Force bought her, and, as N12905, she joined the Warbird circuit. Now, converted back to B-24A/LB-30B configuration, and registered as N24927, "Diamond Lil" continues to wow spectators at airshows both at home and overseas. Painted on to the Jim Nelson/Jaap de Baare/Alphasim Liberator Express model, I have also used Krzysztof Malinowski's B-24 panel as I like it better than the original. Enjoy.

The only Miles M2U built, G-ADOD was ordered by Ruth Fontes with the intention of beating her brother Luis (flying M2L G-ADGP) in the 1935 King's Cup Air Race. Unfortunately, Miss Fontes turned inside a pylon during the 800 mile race and was disqualified. Returning for the 1936 race, piloted by the 1935 winner, Tommy Rose, G-ADOD came second. Then A.E. Clouston and F.E. Tasker bought the aircraft and entered her in the 1936 Schlesinger Race from Portsmouth to Johannesburg. Sadly, engine trouble forced Mr Clouston to crash land 150 miles short of the finish, wrecking the aircraft. Only the dH Gypsy Six R racing engine was salvaged. Painted on to Keith Paine's beautiful Hawk Speed Six, I have used the panel from Keith Paine's Miles Mohawk and the sounds from Derek Palmer's dH Dove. The repaint shows G-ADOD before the start of the Schlesinger Race, and, no matter what I have tried, the canopy stubbornly remains black! Enjoy.

CRJ200 7023 was built in 1993 becoming D-ACLK with Lufthansa Cityline, joining the main Lufthansa fleet before retirement in 2006. Bombardier then took it on as C-FJGK, converting it into a parcel freighter. West Air Sweden then took delivery of it in June 2007 as SE-DUY. Following the merger with Atlantic Airlines, West Atlantic retained it as one of three dedicated parcel carriers. It does not have a large cargo door being a CRJ200PF. Further fleet rearrangement means that 'DUY is now their only dedicated parcel freighter. Painted on to Project Opensky's CRJ200, this shows SE-DUY in it's current West Air Europe color scheme.

Licence built by Noorduyn in 1943, 14A-1459 was delivered to the RAF in April 1944 as a Harvard IIb, but was not taken on charge and returned to the US Government. It was then supplied to the Royal Netherlands Army Air Force as FT419, later becoming B-103. From August 1948, B-103 served with the Belgian Air Force/Belgische Luchtmacht until its return to the Royal Netherlands Air Force/Koninklijke Luchmacht in August 1949. After the KLu retired B-103 in 1962 as a ground instructional airframe, it went to the Anthony Fokker School in 1963 and on to the KLM Apprentice School in 1972. In 1985, a new owner moved B-103 to the Militaire Luchvaart Museum and after it was restored at Valkenberg Air Base in 1986/87 it moved to the Nationaal Militaire Museum at Soesterberg for display in false markings as Marine Luchtvaartdienst UT-6, 099/K, where she remains to this day. Painted on to J. E. Narzico's admirable T-6, I have shown B-103 as she was in her KLM colors.

Developed from the successful AA-1, the AA-5 was an enlargement of the outside and the cabin of the AA-1 to create a four seater with 2/3 commonality of parts. The design was further improved by more powerful engines to create the AA-5B and AG-5B. This 1978 model was delivered to Cabair in 1979 as G-BGFI and went through various owners in this novel color scheme before moving to Germany in 2015 as D-EBGA. Painted on to Tim "Piglet" Conrad's AA-5, the color scheme reminds me of a certain large airline.

In 1961, United Dominiums Trust announced its intention to beat the Sydney to London record held by Comet G-ACSS since 1934. Two times Le Mans winning racing driver, Ron Flockhart bought Commonwealth CA-17 Mustang Mk20 ex A68-5 and VH-BVM, and had it prepared for the attempt. The route was Sydney-Alice Springs-Darwin-Sourabaya-Singapore-Rangoon-Calcutta-Karachi-Bahrain-Beriut-Brindisi-Nice-London. Leaving Sydney on February 28, 1961, all went to plan until he diverted from Brindisi to Athens due to bad weather. At Athens the engine overheated and blew a head gasket whilst awaiting a delayed clearance from Athens ATC. The attempt was abandoned, Lockhart flying on to London by airliner. He was three days ahead of the record at the time. G-ARKD was later damaged by fire whilst being taxied at Athens and subsequently cut up for scrap. However, not all the bits made it to the scrappers and are being used in a rebuild of G-ARKD in the UK. Painted on to AF Scrub's modified AlphaSim P-51 Mustang this is my homage to a remarkable attempt. Sadly you don't get the exhaust smoke unless the lights are on. This may also work in P3D.
