B-26's again.

B-26B-50-MA Hard to Get
This one started as a repaint of Radome's basic B-26. There's some additional tweaks and upgrades. It includes a new effort at metallic aircraft skins.

Wow! Awesome additions!

@Jabba
I was wondering wether the cockpit windows from DC-9 wouldn't fit?

They wouldn't because unlike the 707-(17*)-27-37 series there's almost zero structural commonality between the DC-8 and DC-9 other than hydraulic systems, etc. The Section 41s for example are completely not compatible.

* 717 was the in-house designation for K/C-135 frames before they reused it for the McDD orphans.

You are right on the flag, but I think the colour scheme does have three layers. I've added a flag and darkened the colour slightly.

Might it be just an "illusion" created by the fuselage shape?
