Generic bare metal skin of a P40E. It's not finished. I need to figure out how to "cover" the Snake nose art and the "ARIZONA" of the original skin. This is it so far:

Man, that is excellent, Oct!! Very beautiful!

..

And you're lucky, too.

I was working on the Finnish paint scheme of the Hurricane MkI, and found out that there were some humongous errors in Hurr1 texture mapping.

Currently looking a way around those problems, but stuck in the rut so far. Man, I wish ya better luck with getting rid of the noseart in the P-40..

What game is that from?

NICE!!!! That is probably, imo, one of the best skins I have seen so far.

Can't wait to download it when its ready!

Very nice Oct!

Any chance you could do a RAF marked desert P40, either SAAF, RAAF or RAF?

Thanks guys! Nexx, I sure could try to make one in the future. I've found that my patience is very lacking in the skin creation department, lol. I'll start a new one when I feel inspired

[edit]: ^ Just realized that is an older pic. Note the right wing top/bottom dont match up yet. That is corrected in the finished product[/edit]

^ Who's that? 10 points and a cookie to the first to guess.

Really Beautiful. I love that duralumin silver.
I hope you will work for Ki-61 when it's released......

Ah man, no way.... John Belushi piloting the P40!

That is just way too cool!

Wheres the ferris wheel?

This must be the best skinn I've ever seen!
I just want to wait for the actual aces high II to come out, I don't want to mess with the beta's, you'll need the normal version for upgrading...

A darn, I knew this one...ferris wheel...what was it again!!

Ya know, I'd like to, but it's going to be a day or two til I can clean it up a bit. The skin file itself is quite sloppy with random pixels floating about. I do a good job of hiding it when you see it ingame

Also, technically its historical accuracy is up in the air. I actually got the idea from an IL2:FB skin, but the author claims this P40 was from the 398th FS / 396th FG... and I can't find anything on them... I posted in the Aircraft and Vehicles section looking for help. I'm not sure if they exist. That also ties in with submitting it to HTC; it needs to be historical.

I'll probably post this version soon and replace it later once I find this plane's background.
