From FHC's facebook page, paint scheme is almost complete. Looks like the scheme is 'No. 810', Edwin C. 'Ed' Schmidheini's plane ( 490th Bomb Squadron ) B&W photo is at Warazup, Burma. At that time the aircraft had 116 missions and 8 bridges to its credit!

FHC rarely takes their aircraft off the field to other venues you gotta come to them. HFF goes all over the Northwest with their stuff.

Hoping this becomes a trend : nice and accurate markings on US warbirds ! (especially on B-25's)

Congrats to the team, great choice !

Howdy All

Mr.Allen has set the benchmark with authentic WW2 Warbird restorations !

I wonder what the future will hold for worldwide restorations, in the years to come
How much more authentic will they become !!

Only $$$$$ and time will tell

It looks spectacular! Let's not forget kudos to the folks at Aero Trader for accomplishing such an outstanding and accurate restoration.

I agree. It's great to see some warbirds in the U.S. get accurate colors and markings. :D
