are 109F-2 skins allowed? We have 109F-4

I'm not positive but I have read some posts that indicated that if the Ac was in the same family that one could substitute
not really sure.

It seems everyone who does a Fritz choses an F-2...

If the choice is made due to the color schemes then the F-4s were just as colorful as the F-2s. The F-2 and F-4 were different planes not just in regards to numerical designation but in very meaningful ways.

One problem with the way you did the skin, it's not really like that when you examine it closer. Hold on let me find the 1-2 images I have on it.

EDIT UPDATE:

I had a low quality profile of it, but cannot find that at the moment. I found 3 pictures of a model that, while subjective, give you a better idea of how the camo should be laid out. There are actually 2 colors (and my profile showed this, too, I think) and the demarcation is more crisp.

EDIT 2: I just noticed: Look closely at the image you posted, and you can make out the different colors, and it's more crips like the model pictures.

That's what I needed. Thanks Krusty.
were did you come up with that?
I've been looking for a week.

I was about to send that skin to the recycle bin.

It just does not look right to me. Just had to much air brush ,It looks like a lightening storm going on .

I was seeing a greenish shade in the photo but I thought it was just the old color photo playing tricks and not accurate. but its a grey tone I see .

I wasn't going to go-ahead with the shading, highlight. texture ,weathering, and depth layers, to make the skin pop to life.

But with this more detailed photo to work from I think Ill push it forward.
Thanks Allot.

No problem! Had I your photo (real war-time photo, or even a detailed profile) I'd have tackled it. I don't find model photos to be reliable. I will use them for an example of a pattern, or for ideas of how a camo wraps around an area, but if it's just photos of a model I don't feel I have enough sources to continue in good faith. Now 3rd party high-quality decal sheets, like Eagle Scale Decals or the like, usually do their own research and I trust that they found enough sources to make their decisions, so they hold a lot more weight (for me).

I couldn't find anything past this one model's photos. Then again, I rely heavily on web searches for my sources.
