I've got a MkIX, ready to go, but not a MkVIII, but I'll take that one, that's cool, the MkXIII that is.

Great. I think the Spit IXc's and IXe's work with the Spit Vb.

If you have any trouble with the warped fuselage, LMK, cuz I got it nailed.

Since nobody's said it, I'll take the B-25... I've got a pretty good skin that's just achin' to be dirtied up and FI'd....

Other than that, I might take a swing at the A-20 as well... but I can't remember if I have a template on that one or not...

Heloego requests that all ground attack ac have Sheila out on the tail pushing.

... If you want or need Sheila, LMK.


Okay, Mitchel and A-20 taken.

Could you save the Beaufighter for me then?

Well, if you want the A-20, as you did a very nice one, you can have that one. I just know that if we continue with the one's that you did well, there won't be many left for us to do! :lol:

Actually, it might be better if you do your A-20, I'll do one just to see if I can get one done.

Are we running out of Allied planes already? or am I running out of templates?

Mine look ok, i know it can be quite challengeing. If you wanna send something that shows your layout that'd be great.

Do you know if the VIII has similar issues?

I think we are getting close with the allied planes. I think we still need a Lightning and Wildcat, what else? (My P-40E/M is on the way)

Falcon if you have a Spit Vb, or IX it will work with all the other Spit models except the VIII (which I am doing), so we can just use yours. Same with the La5-7, if you have that let's use those (can you sense the onset of burnout). Plus if you have a green T-bolt let's just use yours again (it'll look better than mine anyway).

We need a list of members who will get a plane and we can start doing member planes, or do we want to start on the Axis and get some of those done and go from there?

Burnout?

:lol:

I understand Matt.

Okay, from what I understand, and that ain't a whole lot, the Spitfire story goes like this ...

all MkVb's
all MkIX's

work together, but have that funky fuselage.

both MkVc's work on a different void with no warp

MkVIII's work only (here's where I could be wrong) with MkVIII's and have the warp.

Seafires work best on Seafires, no warp.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Seafire is first rate, (for me anywho), and my Vc is good too. My VB and IX are old, but I have the warp issue in hand. I can send you an example layer of some IreGreen fuselage number codes that might be understandable. I'm glad you're doing the VIII, thanks.

If I understand the situation, let me work with the Vb and IX and see if I can quickly get them done acceptably.

The La 5 and 7 look mucho diffrento on profile, but that's ... okay. We'll use the 5 and 7 together now and if anyone wants to update the 5 later, then cool.

For the T-bolt, Jug, 47. Do you want the IreGreen or the FISmetal?

For the P-38, do you want an IreGreen or my old metal one w/the green/white/gold stripes ... or am I missing something else?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, we're almost ready to think about zippin' the blank batches of allied ac and storing them somewhere.

I know there are plenty of mates who'd let us use there space, but what about the zip stuff. Could we get a self-extracting file that dl's and updates to a special FIS skin folder that all members can have?

I can convert this A-20 to an IreGreen style if no one else is working on it.

Image

and here's the B-25 that will need minimal updating ... if no one else is working on it.

Cool Falc...

I have a B-25 ready to go... but yours is probably more accurate....

Snaphoo,

Yeah, I put uber work into getting the lines all lined up and fairly precise, but if you have a good paint scheme maybe we can combine the two?

That would be great Falc. Except for the fact that my "ready to go" is, judging by the picture you have there, a step or two behind your "minimal updates needed."

Go ahead and do your B-25. There's plenty of other planes and stoof.
