Yes, I'm well aware of the combat they saw in both theatres of WW2. Check the 2 twin .50 gun packs under the wing in that shot. These things could sling more lead than anything until the AC-47 came along I guess.

The unique turret set up was interesting, somewhat similar to the B-29s. The limited service only resulted in 7 confirmed kills for A-26 gunners I believe. Japan was crawling with all versions after the war while My late Dad was in the occupation force (USAAF/USAF 47-49).

I remember seeing some of the On Mark modifications as used in Vietnam when I was a kid at Ft. Rucker in the early 60s. Lots of stuff from Egland and Tyndal used to come thru there, so I assume they were from there. Had the SE Asia camo to. Wish I had been into cameras back then, but I was too busy building scale models .

Any news?

Unfortunately the biggest "motor" of this MOD-Plane Crazyflak  is currently taking a pause of modding.

So I do not know if or when this plane will be finished !  :(

This seems such a dreadful shame to be left, kinda treading water.... :(

Doc, can't you ask for the files back to be finished off ? 'If or when', a tad rough on you m8t. Even if we had the WWII type without all the Nam stuff it would be great    ;)

23428 is a lot of views..... sad for all the time n hard work thats already been put into this special bird.

Best of luck   :)     8)

Crazyflak said that he's currently sorting out his hardrive and will send the work to the respective author of all the projects that he participated.

I think we would all be very appreciative of that, as we are all certainly thankful for all the great work he has done for us in this sim. Salute.  8)

Indeed I can confirm that Crazyflak said he will ship out any unfinished projects before going on a prolonged break from Il-2.

Yes indeed. This community will be a little bit diminished without him. I hope he comes back some day.

He probably will. This stuff is as addictive as meth, but alot more fun......and it doesn't rot your teeth out.  ;D  Nice of him to be considerate of the rest of us smoking our paychecks away in this dark alley.  8)
