Why are all the good templates for stuff that's already done?

Have a template for the MS406 (Whats that "Marks and Spencer"?), and just found a far better D-9 template.

So whats left to do?

Niiiice P-40E/M there Snee there ... then.

A Blen?

I have an oooooooold one I used when I first started skinning back when the Earth was young and the land was ruled by dinoferrets. I seriously think you should look elsewhere though. If you are reeeally hard up, I'll pass it by.

My next project will be the Fiat CR42 ...
Did I say Fiat CR42?

Well, I prefer the MC 205 III much more so I decided to create a skin for this one ...

I shouldn´t have started with it because the lines and rivets of the void template are really crappy. So I had to recreate them from the scratch again ...

Here´s a picture of the WIP of it ...

Image

I´ll deliver the CR42 of course as well ...

Cheers, mates! ^:)

They look wicked Snee!

Have you finished/started/thought about doing the Allied blank skins yet?

Doing the blank skins isn't much of a chore, but the custom skins ...

gah!

Just the Pe-2, La-7 and Wildcat (in IreGreen) are 138 (46x3) skins of mind numbing repitition.

Good thing my mind is familiar with "numb".

Thats just a pick from the template, just markings no name or number right?

Should I get access to Gurbs FTP or just prepare a Zip of blanks that I have?

All Allied are covered now ? If thats so I might look at He111 and Ki61 voids next. Got an excellent metal template for A6M2

Well done all. I will get my blank ones done this evening, and start on the personalized.

VDL Adrenaline filters- "Camo" filter on top (white) layer @75%
