Martin's XB-51 competed for the contract to equip the U.S. Air Force with a new jet attack bomber to replace the A-26 Invader in the night interdiction role.  The package includes authentic skins for five of the color and markings schemes worn by the first prototype during its long career at the Air Force Flight Test Center and ten speculative skins in the colors and markings of B-57 operators that would have flown the B-51 had it won the production contract.  Model by David Wooster, skins painted by Mick.

This package includes models of four versions of the Northrop "Flying Wing" bombers of the Classic Era: XB-35, EB-35B, YB-49, and YRB-49A for FS9.  By David Wooster with skins by Mick.

This is an AI-only version of our flyable North American B-45 & RB-45 Tornado.  To reduce processing requirements the models have no VC, interiors or external stores, no water injection system on the RB, and of course no 2D panel or sounds.  All of the original skins are present, but to reduce the number of models, some that differed from others in only tiny details have been omitted and their skins reassigned to nearly identical models.  If you don't have it already, you can find the the full-featured flyable B-45 & RB-45 in the library here on this site.  Models by David Wooster, skins by Mick.

This is David Wooster and my old Martin T4M Torpedo Truck from 2006 upgraded with all newly repainted skins, benefiting from what I've learned about painting textures in the intervening seventeen years.  Complete aircraft on both wheels and floats (you don't need the original version.)  The old models don't have VCs but now the 3D model is visible in VC View so when you look outside you see the parts of the plane you would see from a real VC (but if you look down into the cockpit there's nothing to see.)

This is part two of a two-part depiction of the B-45 and RB-45 Tornado.  This part contains the reconnaissance planes.
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. By David Wooster with some help from his friends.
