I've just posted this skin to The Skin Department. It is a Hellcat Mk II of 1839 Squadron operating from HMS Indomitable in the Pacific in 1945.

Greeb, I thought you said you were done with the carrier planes for a while?  I'm not complaining though, all of your skins are awesome!

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

When I finished the last FM-2 I'd intended to start on the A-20 but got discouraged with the bugs I found in the skin and the lack of variation in the A-20G schemes. So I decided to ignore the mirroring issues with the F6F and do a few of those instead. But I've exhausted the Hellcat now, can't really do any others where I wouldn't just be repeating myself.

I'd do some F4U-4s or 1Cs but I can't find any interesting schemes, dark blue is soooo boring. Besides that skin is horribly buggy.

So I've begun work on the A-20 again. Some nice A-20 profiles and pictures Airmess has just sent me has got me interested in it again. I'll just have to live with the bugs. That's going to keep me busy for the next month or two so I won't be able to do the 109G-2. Isn't it basically the same as the other 109G skins then?

Greebo...VF-17 skin

I thought you had that skin posted over at the Skins Departement site? I just went looking for it and didn't find the skin. I know it was a little off the mark but I am trying to do a specific screenshot with it.

The VF-17 skin is still up there. It is an F4U-1 skin, maybe you were looking under the F4U-1D skins? Sadly Skuzzy wouldn't let that sort of substitution go though.

Thanks Citabria. I'm not thinking of doing any P-47s, nopoop and coyo seem to have those well covered. However I am going to do a 20 Sqn RAAF A-20. Also a USAAF New Guinea A-20, not sure which one yet, something with some interesting noseart.

heh a20/boston in pacific colors the posibilities for that plane are endless. russian raaf us british etc. and once its greebo'd in high rez textures it will look amazing. superflies 3d model of the boston a20 is spot on in every proportion.

look forward to seeing that.

the boston and a20 skin setup was interchangable in ah1 should be same in ah2.

Thanks Greebo I must have been looking in the wrong plane slot. Anyway I will have to give them a call over at HTC and see why they will not let that work of art go through since it is the authentic one. I think it only compliments the one that never left the states or carrier work ups in the Carribean.
