Okay, the blue and red colors are perhaps a bit intensive, but that is a matter of taste. Historically 'XB' was the squadron code of No. 220 RAF squadron, a unit reequipped with liberators in december 1944 and mainly tasked with reconnaisance and anti-submarine patrols in the south atlantic. I don't know if you choosed this squadron code 'per accident ' but it didn't belong to a real bomber unit.
You did apply even individual nosearts to each plane - excellent! The large number of 26 individual planes gives the opportunity of let them fly in a bigger formation. Building a SP mission of the RAF Hamburg u-boat pens daylight raid in 1945 this pack comes to the very right time for me! Will be a pleasure shooting some of them down with the Me262's of JG7 - fairly historical. Thank you very much and best wishes.
P. S. i will write a pm to you.
It's just purely coincidental I used the letters XB and I didn't know that it was the squadron code for No. 220 Sqdn. As for the nose art, some are from real aircraft ( WW2 to now ) and some are completely made up.
It all started because I made a skin for the Ar 234 Nachtjaeger and wanted some thing to shot down, to bring more immersion to the game I decided to make a generic / fake bomber Sqdn.
Apart from 1 skin they where never ment to be historical correct, more just to have fun with
