My first upload at Axis & Allies Paintworks, just had to be a hack.. so here are a few Douglas P-70's painted in historical Northrup P-61 Black Widow schemes. It's my way of getting the history of this beautiful nighfighter into the sim. I hope you will enjoy.

Installation is easy; simply place the bmp files into IL2 1946 / Paint Schemes / Skins / A-20G folder.


Lastly, all I ask in return for these skins, is that my work NOT BE ALTERED, sold, uploaded to other sites, picked apart and pieces used in other projects, or any of the other dastardly stuff we hear about. If you have any questions about this, please contact me via pm. 

Thanks and good hunting! ~ Rudi Jaeger, 04-July-2010.
