B24D Project for IL2

[Buster_Dee]

I think the bendix was just the remote one that used the periscope. The B17E also had it. It survived as the B17G chin.

Why the interest in the C, E Backbird? There were only 9 Cs built, and I think all stayed stateside as trainers (I have that PoM, which also covers very early D). From what I've read, the E wasn't much different from the D, and I think most of those were used to train crews as well.

I'm not against spinning off for some other versions. I'd love to find time to make a Lib I (with the 20mm gun pack) and Lib II (with the BP turrets), especially the sub chasers. Not much in the way of targets for those though (well, shipping of course). Besides, we have no info on the innards of the short nose of the LB-30 and Lib I. By the way, the panel for the C is more like the LB-30 and, I'm guessing, the Lib I. There isn't much in the panel that could be salvaged from the D. Not impossible, but definitely would need some effort.

I'd also like to do the H Pathfinder.
