UH, here is my opinion, which I suggest YOU and EVERYONE else, ignores:
There is no purpose for a non-historical skin to begin with.
razzy colors, and snake's names just make planes seem... childish.
Ask whether some kind of skin can be done before asking that it can be done, simply because that way you will seem more intelegent, and as though you carefully consider things.
Find someone who does the kinds of skins and kinds of aircraft you like, and ask them via PM. When doing this, be prepared to provide FULL details. For example, I wanted an all-metal skin for the 303BG. Kev367th made the skin we have now for 303BG's 17, so I PMed him. I made sure to send him profiles for several all-metals and let him decide which to make. Also, I made myself ready to give him any information so as not to require any more work on his part than absolutely nescecarry.
And finally, take things as they come. The United States military never flew flew typhoons that I know of, and they DEFINATELY never flew La-7s. Red was not a very common color to use in large numbers in western militaries, because red stands out like a sore thumb. The early B-17s were OD (Olive Drab) for a reason: Camoflage. Who ever sees his opponent first has already won half the battle. If you are fond of the United States Army Air Corp. star, and british aircraft, I would suggest the Spitfire mk IX. It has a very lovely american skin.
You can all now open your eyes safely, so as not to read the above and continue on,
