I shoveled at midnight and it wasn't snowing, got up at 8:30 and couldn't see out the front door. :p

Wow, we have gotten 3 inches in 3 hours and the place is going nuts with accidents.  Don't think we could handle your snowfall.

Thank goodness for global warming or you would be totally screwed! :noid :O :aok

First 2 consecutive days over 50 degrees in 7 weeks, here.

The first blizzard was 7 weeks ago. We STILL have that ice on our streets. It almost just barely started melting a couple of weeks ago (DOT crews went out clearing storm drains in anticipation) but then it snowed again. Almost every Friday, it seems. Anyways, we've got a week of 40-60 degrees (FINALLY) and hopefully it'll melt the stuff that's been blocking folks here for almost 2 months.

You have my sympathies, but I've already been there, already did that. I don't wish to repeat it :)

EDIT: Oh, and as for the skin, when you make the skin get all the panel lines to meet up on wings, fuselages, etc, and when you place markings you can use the panel lines as reference (10 pixels from the nearest panel line, for example). That will get you within 1-2 pixels lineup on the edges with stripes and such.

I am glad to have the Kidd's skin in the game. The purple color is a little strange.

Would like to see the Kidd's P-47 also.

Added a couple other P-51's also.

Salute to all the work the skinners do!

Some pics to help out.:D

Ummm...

Missouri Mauler is a different pilot, as is Missouri Armada (says "Capt. J.B. England" right on the canopy rail). Armada isn't even from the same Group, its 357th.

And as Fencer said, "Missouri Kid/Sho-Me" is one of the 4 4th FG P-47D11s, along with Blakeslee, Beeson and I think Capt. France (Its "Miss Dallas", right? I forget ATM).

Yes it is Miss Dallas.  One from all three time periods of insignia and Blakeslee's thrown in for history's sake.

Missouri Mauler is Willard Millikan's Malcom hood B model from the 4th FG.  He went down to flak in it in May 44.

Armada is John England's P-51. The first 4 pics are the Kidd's planes. Any chance of getting whitewalls? :D

Sorry, I didn't go into more detail, I was in a hurry.

The Hofer 51B in game has whitewalls.

Oh, and my apologies, its TexMurph did that skin, not MachNix. Was looking at the wrong 334th/4th skin on the webpage.

Hey Dan, according to the profile shown in "The Warlords vol. 1", Godfreys silver B had the kills displayed in two rows of Balkenkreuz, not the multiple swastikas. I've not got any photos of it to confirm either, just passing it along. Do you have photos? (stupid question)

Definitely givin me some ideas for skins... :D

Has virtually every aircraft that can be identified from the 4th, 20th, and 55th FGs. But some (like this one) are different from other sources I've seen, so I don't really know which way to go with it.
