March 16 session skins

Post by :FI:Falcon » Wed Mar 12, 2008 2:41 am

Ardmore is sending us to Burma next week!

Tomahawks IIB's and Ki-43's are on the menu.

Snaphoo's* =FI= skin is available from the Greart FI Skinning Project here.

I have two Tomahawk skins:

~historic US/Pacific scheme

Image

~historic desert RAF scheme

and a Ki-43 FI (GSP) skin:

Image

~historic paint w/Irish graphics.

Non-members can ask for an unnumbered skin.

Skins are NOT required. You can use any skin.

thanks,


Falcon


* New members who want Snaphoo's P-40b/c/Tomahawk skin personalized, erm ... need to ask him.

Noter's/JavaServal's Hurri IIb from the GSP is available.

I could modify my new Hurri IIc template to the IIb w/pacific colors in no time, but there doesn't seem to be much interest.

Image

All Hurri skins work fine on every other Hurri though. The difference between 12MG's and 4 cannon is just a wee bit of detail on the wing top (access), wing bottom (shell extractor) and leading edge (gun ports).

I've never done the Betty bomber. Doesn't Sneaky have one of those? The GSP kinna skipped the Betty.

~~~

Anything to keep me from making buttons is welcome though. I'll look for a nice Pacific Hurri IIb (RAF?) color scheme and prolly have it ready soon.

Well, there's no rule against it.

I don't see why you can't. One of the reasons we made 'blank' and 'no-code' skins of each skin prolly was to enable you to do just that.


Fo gor it!
