There are a couple of Sunderland skins out there for the Emily, worth
checking http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads2&c=37

skin by "Sierraxray" is the better of the two - PM me and I'll forwarda copy.

Not sure about the Battle skin, as it's a "Frankenplane", so the mapping may be a little odd.

I've got some Blenheim IV skins for 139 sqn (98% finished - some weathering to do).
and Gladiators in FAA colours.

Ak!

A black and yellow striped skin?!?

I hope it's not as tricky to do as the Beau ...

Image

That was a royal pain!

The Fairey Battle? We have a Battle? What void/skin would that use?

Okay, I'll wait for the pics.

Do a search at AAA for stationary AC/ default skin mod, then you have to fly with the skin you want in QMB, quit and look for the skin in paintschemes cache - it will be a .tga not a .bmp.

Simply put that skin in the right place in the mod.

Heres the link at AAA with full instructions:-

http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/view ... raft+skins

Replacing default skin should give custom default and also show on static AC.

oooooooo-kay ...

Which ones do you want first? The Glads in Irish (=FI= green/IreGreen) will be fairly easy, but don't look for much detailing, corrections or wear in a rush job. A PYN? You mean a PBY or the big Japanese seaplane masquerading as a Sunderland? Sunderland colors? You mean FAA camo? RAF Coastal Command camo? I have not skinned an H8K "Emily" yet. That would take a looooong time to start from scratch. A pic and a template from one of the skinning sites would help. I have never skinned a fully mod'd aircraft from AAA before, except the Spit MkI and there were no differences in the shape in that case. For the Battle, do I simply skin a Kate? I don't have the mod and I am hesitant to install it.

Here is the Kate I skinned a while ago.

Image

I could make it =FI= green in a short time. Making it look like a bumblebee and making it right will take a week or more. Again, a pic or three would be nice.

In the meantime, I urge you to check out the skins that Sneaky mentioned. That would be the quickest solution and I could come by later and do some more as my time permits.

Snaphoo did the J8A in ire grn for GFISP .
I have a quickie PSP template for Gladiator (FAA colours).

Comparing the VPmedia B5N2 skin (for the mod )and the regular kate skin there seems to be no real difference.

The Yellow /black striped colour scheme is for a target tug.
Early war trainers would have dark earth/gren upper camo , and yellow underside.
