8th Air Force Skins Request for Der Grosse Schlag
« on: July 05, 2007, 01:17:16 PM »
We are going to try something new with Der Grosse Schlag  the next scenario in Aces High.

We are going to try and have historical skins for all the units involved.

Fortunately a good number of the units are already represented. However there are a few that need to be filled in on the American side.

Below is a list.

339th Fighter Group P-51D/P-51B  None available

353rd Fighter Group P-51D/P-51B  None available

355th Fighter Group P-51D/P-51B  One available
P-51B - 355FG/354FS by MachNix

389th Bomb Group B-24J  None available

If anyone has a desire to do add some P-51Ds and P-51Bs to fill up these slots or a P-51B for the 357th FG in Fall of 1944 colors please state your intentions in this thread.

We would like the Skins ready and submitted in time to be added to the game for the September 1, 2007 Skin update.

Also, below is a list of the Bomb Units that will be in play.  Feel free to create any skins to add to the ones available as the slots are not filled on these plane types.

1st Bomb Division:
91st Bomb Group B-17G  2 Available
91BG/324BS by Thunder
91BG/323BS By Kev367th

303rd Bomb Group B-17G  Two available

303BG/359BS by Kev367th

381st Bomb Group B-17G  One available
381BG/532BS by Fencer51

2nd Bomb Division:
44th Bomb Group B-24J  One available
44BG/67BS by Greebo

446th Bomb Group B-24J  One available
446BG/705BS by Greebo

3rd Bomb Division:

Please PM me or better yet post here so I can keep track of what is being worked on and the status of the skin so as to Coordinate with HTC.

Thanks Guys.

Just in case theres a way for them to include it for the scenario, I'm doing up a November '44 specific P-51B for the 4th. Lt. Ayers P-51B-5-NA 43-6518, QP-K. NMF, Malcom hood, red rudder, D-Day stripes on underside of the tail only, black ID stripes on wings and H-Stabs.

I'm working from a profile, so if anyone has any photos to share that would help, it would be greatly appreciated. Just PM me or e-mail me of you have my address.



The profile and info I am working from shows it as K not K, but thats one of the reasons photos are needed.

Except for mino tweaking and lining up of panels and markings on the tail, shes done. Any more Ponies? The more generic the better, a whole formation of gawdy nosearts and flashy paintjobs just looks weird to me.





Found photo proof of its existence at the proper time too.

Looks fine Treize, but we could use other groups rather than the 4th.

Thats what I mean by requests. As in give me ideas for examples from  other units to do. Preferably Bs, but I could try and get into a D or two.

Ive found a bunch of profiles for the 339th, 353rd and 355th, but don't know what ones would be accurate to November of '44. Profiles have no info as far as when the plane depicted is shown.

For example, was the 353rd wearing the long or short checkerboards at that point?

Serenity, check the photo again. Your tail code is too small in size. Needs to be taller and a bit wider, so that proportionately it matches the photo.

EDIT: ALso the codes are too high. K Q P should have their tops aligned with the top of the bar (in the "star and bar") but extend well above it. Also the underline on the K almost wraps around the bottom on the photo but yours is well above that. Just shift all the codes down and see if that fixes it. They look to be the proper size, just wrong position.

EDIT2: Correction, it's a combination of codes and star. The codes should barely not touch the radio compartment window, and the star should be a bit higher on the fuselage.

I have held off saying anything since no one was working on the Allied Skins..

However, I would hold off doing any Mustangs.  There was an agreed to plan that has since been put on hold.

Please stand by until things get sorted out.
