Ah, yes, sorry for the Fester/Fencer thing... I just look at folks' avatars nowadays

[Edit: by that I knew who Fencer was when I said "I like him too much" -- just typed the wrong name for the right person]
"Let me say one more thing. I respect the work that anyone does skinning an aircraft for this game. Its not easy and if done halfway right it is a substantial commitment to the game and all the fellow pilots."
I do agree with you, make no mistake. But if I modeled 4 different Jagdgruppe 109G6s from the same squadron (but different Gruppe) they would be 99% identical, as well! In fact, chances are the only difference would be the tail codes and the color of the tail codes.
Nobody would appreciate them. Nobody would use them. hell HTC might even reject them (maybe, I doubt it, but maybe).
So yes, if you can't live without skinning a plane that's already been done, go ahead and skin it. I just think it's a waste of talent (personally), that could be used on a more unique skin for the same plane.
