A fictitious Royal Canadian Air Force B-17G named "BigGuns", for obvious reasons. Nice Nose Art, lotsa kill markings, and some bombing FU to boot.

Dominican Republic Air Force acquired two B-17Gs in 1947, remaining in use until 1954. This livery is one of them.

Serial number 44-83514, affectionately known as 'Buxom Babe' is a B-17G formerly operated by the Osean Air Force during the Osean War of the 1940s. She was initially accepted into service in June of 1944 with the 944th Bombardment Squadron, before being transferred into the 20th Bombardment Squadron 'Raiders', assigned to the Northern front against Belka. Buxom Babe would fly in 75 combat missions, along with 3 photo Reconnaissance missions before the end of the war.

Following the end of the Conflict, the B-17 would be remanded to a boneyard in west Harwood, Osea, until being purchased in 1952 for firebombing duties. In 1976, she would retire a second time, and come into possession of the Commemorative Air Force, who would restore her and turn the aging bomber into a "Living History exhibit. Ever since, Buxom Babe has toured across the country at airshows and public outreach events to teach younger generations about a war long past.

This is a submission for the B-17G Livery Competition. It includes two skins, one a detailed 'Louie the Creep' and one plain and without the distinguishing markings of 'Louie the Creep" as specified in the competition. Speculars are used but I will change to roughmets if the developers decide to upgrade the B-17 to PBR. The detailed skin depicts Serial number 42-97976, a B-17G-40-VE, code letter D, nicknamed "Louie the Creep". The plane completed 27 combat missions with the 709th Bombardment Squadron of the 447th Bombardment Group at this point and would be renamed "Bit O' Lace" for the remainder of it's combat missions which totaled 83 by the end of the war in Europe.

Please Note: This skin will work with the default JSON file included in the game but to see the skin at it's best, use the improved Metallic look MOD by Warlord64 available here :  https://forum.dcs.world/topic/319116-specular-reflectivity-from-brushed-to-mirror-effect/#comment-5

This is a submission for the B-17G Livery Competition. This includes two skins depicting S/Ns 44-83851 No. '23' and 44-83811 No. 21. Although these are beyond the dates specified in the competition, I thought that they may be useful for missions on the new Sinai map. The history and color schemes noted on the web vary quite a bit. Original photos of what I assume to be the delivery flight show them as being very heavily worn. Some accounts say that they were subsequently re-painted and I have decided to depict them freshly painted as shown on the accompanying profile picture. I did not include 'plain' versions since they both have only the small '21' and '23' individual distinguishing markings. Speculars are used but I will change to roughmets if the developers decide to upgrade the B-17 to PBR.
