SpitVIII idea

I know we've got one with a tiger jumping over the roundel, but this is a little different (that is, assuming it's accurate) and has a bit more color on it.


Just a suggestion!  :aok

Krusty ya bastage!  When I posted that one, you jumped all over it with the "they all look the same" line :)

This was 2005 and I quote you!

"I hate to say it, I really do, but if it's just the plain old SEAC camo then there's not TOO much of a reason to skin it. The problem with these spits is that all the skins are 99% identical. It's like the 15 different P47s all BMF with just different color rings around the cowlings and wing tips.

While the yellow on the nose and around the wolf's head is something, I don't consider that "colorful" -- but this may be because I've been doing "colorful" LW skins -- which have much more variation.

I say if you've got one SEAC painted spit of that mark, ya don't necessarily need another. Are there any non-standard skins? At least different markings maybe? Non-RAF roundels? Something noticably different?"

Took ya a while to come around :)

It's the lack of options!

It's gotten to the point that I consider the small flash of red on the one spit16 to be "quite colorful!"

And I fly the brown/green camo spit16 just because the SEA camo is everywhere!!!

Now, on a P-51 I consider it very muted, but for the spits -- oh! for the spits!
