Personal Skins - If You Could
« on: January 20, 2008, 12:22:06 AM »
If HTC were ever to allow personal skins, instead of strictly historical ones, what would you fly?

One provision: Even if not a historical skin, it must still fit within the range of historicaly APPROPRIATE paint schemes (so no Richard Simmons La-7! :p ).



A variation on the paint scheme I envision for my squadron, with an insignia red cowl lip rather than white. Also shows my current FSO score (9 air-to-air victories, 2 ground objects destroyed). The fourth strip of gun tape has a historical basis: Some Marines faked additional armament by putting an extra piece of tape on the wing.

Still have some paint chipping to do on the fuselage, but overall fits the profile of a suitably battered and weathered island-based Hog.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Awesome looking!   What a beat-up ol' hog.   Kinda looks like your ground crew took the war off!

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I'd be in a Royal Purple A5 with yellow trim on the leading edge of everything. Would be awsome

AS per historicalish. It would be a a Grey Black camo and be yellow-orange checkers around the nose.

The advantage of having taken my game ID from the nose art of Corky Smith's P38G is I get to fly the one I would want to fly :)

Never thought about it like that, Mine would prolly be a 353rd P51D, But still i didnt create a noseart.

Interesting topic Sax! And i like that weathered F4U!

EDIT: Now when i look at it again, it looks like a Jack Sparrow'd F4U :D

I fear the repercussions if I ever decide to change that...
