Next on my desk will be Cuban MiG-15UTI which I released today.
Next recolor? B-57B in South Vietnam markings. You like this idea?

love this idea fella!!!

[PacificWind]

This B-57B will be a "bigger project". That means it's little more difficult to recolor, so you'll have to wait longer for it.
Maybe another unusual MiG-15 in the meantime? I love these flying tubes Who knows....

Either one would be good, Kacper.

Until I saw your post, I was unaware than any B-57s were ever in VNAF markings. Even though I have read Steve Mesko's VNAF: South Vietnamese Air Force 1945-1975 (Carrollton, TX: Squadron Signal, 1987) many times, his account of the short life of the VNAF B-57s on page 43 had not sunk in. This on-line account tracks pretty closely with that of Mesko: Tails Through Time: The Very Brief Career of the B-57 with the VNAF

The B-57 in the "Tails Through Time" article includes two images, one of a B-57 in VNAF markings and natural metal finish, the other in Southeast Asia 1960s camouflage (the image in Mesko appears to be in the SEA camouflage as well). So you have a couple of color choices.

I haven't been able to find info on ROC B-57s except for reference to two RB-57-A-1s and this image: http://hobbymiliter.com/wp-content/u...-Air-Force.jpg

I look forward to learning more about VNAF and ROCAF B-57s from you and others.

ROCAF was a mistake in my post(you catched it before I removed it)

Here's the VNAF version. I'll try to recreate this one.

Bruno posted blank/white B-24 Liberator and Vickers Wellington you know .

Maybe you can give them a shot and make 'em in Coastal Command liveries?Think of Wellington in 304 Sq markings

I tried doing it and failed.You seem to have better ways of recoloring them.

I like that VNAF Canberra!

Now these I WOULD like to see. With the squillions of 1/100 subjects out there one rarely sees this pair- in ANY markings.

I'm with Don. Never knew VNAF has B-57's. Looking forward.
