some of you doofs need to apply those skills to a 38... and 17...

38 has the black and yellow on the nose modelled into the polygons, so its permanently that color. Any skin done cannot be historically accurate.

The 17 is a big skin, and takes a LOT of time.

But, I guess it could be done.

so re-do the current metal part on the 38... i mean comapred with the other work we're seeing....

no hurry on the 17's, since no one gets to admire the skins as they dive-bomb and auger in too quick.

however... i do like the more recent o/d's i'm seeing as well, the lighter colored not the drak, dark ones from people's earlier work.

you guys just keep getting better and better... hope htc left room for more than only 15 skins per plane down the road.

Wish there were a way to include a fix for that in the skins.

Either way, there are two OD green 17s submitted, maybe more.

Guess we'll have to wait for the 38s.

I'm not planning on touching the '38 until its reworked. I heard there are a lot of fixes needed for that one. Since its a late war ETO candidate, with an early war variant due, chances are it'll get fixed before too long.

The '51B has some problems too, I wish I knew whether any fixes will or won't be compatible with the skins already made...
