So, I'm in the process of doing a -40 skin for the good ol' Jug o' doom. Problem is, the plane I was planning on doing didn't exist as far as I can tell so I'm in need of suggestions for a skin. So if anyone has a silver, American -40 that they'd like to see in the game, post some pics and I'll see what I can do.

A nice 79th FG MTO Jug would be fun to see. Kinda colorful too.

Mmmmmmm..... tasty pics. I'll see what I can dig up and I'm on it. If you guys have any more pics of that ship I'll do it. Now as for the link to Chow Hound, already the default skin... sorry.

Best I can do. But you can see the same stuff that's on the profile which is based on this photo.

Wow that is 2 now I have messed up on of late, will have to start paying closer attention.

In progress....

I'm going to change some of the shading on the wings, I.E. the flaps which are WAY over done. But so far I think it's coming out pretty good.

Let me know what you think:

Only thing I'd suggest you look at is the blue tail color. It's not the same blue as the star and bar blue. It's lighter.

Good luck with it

Can't wait to see it in game. I highly doubt I'd change the one I have now to that one but I'd defenitly fly with that skin from time to time.

Yeah, I noticed that once I put it in the game. The funny thing about AH is some colors in photoshop come up really light, others dark. With the issue I had on my P51 skin and the green being to light, I err'd on the side of going dark. Turns out it was WAY too dark. It's still in it's infant stages, I'll keep posting updates. Thanks for the advice and help, Guppy, I'd like to fly with you some night.

This is shaping up to be a great looking skin, IMX.

Check the size of your fuselage star insignia - it looks a tad too large - the bar shouldn't be as wide as those exhaust vents and should be offset slightly above it.

Keep it up!

I was wondering about that, but I just went with the exact size as the default. I'm looking at some of the actual photos and I'm going to change it to reflect them. If anyone has a starboard side shot of this ship, it would be most appreciated. One with a topside view of the wings would be great too.

I have already fixed the still super crazy shading on the flaps in this photo, not as harsh now, you'll be able to see next shot.

That shading looks OK to me.

Here's a small tip, which you already might know about anyway, but be sure to go into external view, zoom in and operate all the control surfaces while watching closely and make sure the panel lines line up correctly with where the 3D model control surfaces hinge. That bit me on a few earlier skins I did.

Yeah, I had the same issue on my first P51 skin, it's one of the first things I check now. Thanks for the praise, hopefully it'll come out as good as I hope.
