The SMSWorld

[Colosseum]

Another utterly ridiculous thing:

Fantastic work there Colo old chap, another of my favourite American aircraft

I must say, I really DO enjoy your FD work sir. Jolly Well Done I say

[Blackbuck]

Mmmm. Always had a soft spot for the charcoal lizard scheme.

Thanks guys, though the real credit of course goes to the original artists whose work I've only stolen and recolored for almost 99% of the work in this thread.

I think the concept of a North Point-operated B-52 is a bit ridiculous but I enjoy making paint schemes so whatever. Also, there are no nuclear weapons in SMSWorld due to RP game restrictions, so it's dubious if large long-range strategic bombers would even be developed to begin with... (along with cruise missiles, SSBNs, most of the space program, etc etc etc...)

oh! now i understand the meaning of «ridiculous»! outstanding work in the BUFF paint schemes, Colosseum!

Being one of the "original artists" for the B-52, I must say that especially the first camo looks really cool.

[Colosseum]

The first one is my take on the "European One" scheme used in the 1980s for the US Air Force. I guess North Point's forces deployed in Questers are all painted in that scheme. I couldn't find an official B-52H Euro-1 color scheme guide though so I just invented one. And of course the black undersides are not part of the Euro-1 scheme.

The second one is the usual navy blue maritime scheme with grey undersides and the third is a slightly modified version of the South East Asia USAF scheme with less black.

Still, recoloring of others' work or not, the camos work very well here. I would have seen the Euro-1 green slightly darker, but maybe that's just me, and it's not preventing me from picturing it barrelling along the Central European plains at tree-top height anyway
Without nukes, might as well make itself otherwise useful!

[Colosseum]

I actually went ahead and went with the Euro 1 scheme Caddaric created. I think it's more accurate.

Anyway, some C-130s:

I love the B-52s. Do you have any plans of fielding B-1A/B? I don't think anyone has drawn one yet, though.
