connie,

I am swamped with skinning projects, but mayhap this will help.

There are plenty of skins at Mission4today, Simmers Paintshop and Flying Legends.

I understand that your campaign is pre-BoB, so I could slightly change my BoB Spit I skins and put the black/white undersides on them. If you sent a profile or pic to me, I could work on it.

Image

Ditto if you do Hurri's.

My Blenheim template is ancient. It would take a loooong time to get it up to speed. I could get to it in February ... or two weeks after that.

There are some great Glad skins out there. I don't know their time period or theater, but check it out.

Thanks for making a BoB campaign. I'll be looking forward to fly it.

Oh!

You mean some of our EireGreen birds from our Great =FI= Skinning Project?

Oh.

Well ... I could pump out a Blenheim, I s'pose. Like I said, my template is a wee bit weak, but I'll volunteer for the BlenIV. I haven't researched the diff between the MkIV and V.* When would you need them?

Instead on forcing a SpitV/IX skin on a Mk1 I did a quick FISgreen Mk1. I wasn't too happy with that particular MkV/IX skin anywho.

WIP

Because of the BAD warping on the aft fuselage, I might put the squadron numbers in front of the FI round. If I have the time, I'll try after the round.

Is this what you want?

So, the Blen Mk V is a mod that is not included in the mega patch? Got a link?

A quality assurance processes is integrated within every level of =FI= skinning.
This commitment starts directly with the first pixel and weaves throughout our
designs to the last historically accurate service stencil where experienced
component quality engineers and inspectors apply zero-tolerance evaluations
and stringent inspection criteria to ensure the integrity of our work.

Our skilled skinners and inspectors, following stringent internal quality assurance
processes and zero-tolerance inspection checks, have the experience and knowledge
to detect substandard work.

At time of delivery we carefully research and prescreen our skins and templates to
ensure that product is up to our high standards based on a rigorous set of product
quality, dependability and service criteria. All =FI= skiners are continuously
monitored to proactively identify any potential problems early in the delivery of
product and services. Only then can we certify the product and remove the WIP tag.

...

Plus I gotta fiddle wiff some lines an' stuff first.

Just checking,

=FI=Snaphoo did the J8/Gladiator in the Great FI Skinning Project. It should be available already. Send the blank skin to me and I'll put your number on it.

PS: I still can't find the Blen MkV.
