Needing desert skins...

[Dux]

<S!> guys... we've got a couple of North African terrains coming soon to the SEA very soon; we sure could use some skins to use them on. There's a lot of good info out there, info on B-25s, B-24s, Spits, Hurris, 109s, 110s, etc, etc... I'd do some myself, but my plate is already full.


Btw, I'm looking for official server skins, not built-into-terrain skins.

Thanks, all!


Here's some previews...

Working on a Hans-Jaochim Marseille 109F skin right now. My computer's screwed up though.
I'll see if I can start on a 110 as well.... once I get everything working.

Well the Allied Sherman Firely was never deployed in Africa.  The M8 was, although I have never seen any Desert schemes for it.  The Tiger I (early version) was there, but I am not sure our version of the Panzer Mk IV was ever deployed in Africa.

Unless you want terrain specific skins you are not going to get historical skins for the MA for most of the armor.

I can do a P-39D for ya, and a B-25C as well.

Thanks, Fencer and ML. We can add skins as terrain-specific if they get rejected as non-historic. Just having them the right color would be enough.

Beautiful terrain BTW.

Ok I found some British Sherman Desert schemes that I can make work on my Firefly Template.  If I do it, show you the reference material will it be used?  Don't want to waste my time.. 

[edit] If someone else wants to do a desert 'firefly' please feel free, it will be some time before I get to it.

If HTC doesn't accept it for online, I'll certainly build it into the terrain. So, "yes"... it will be used.

Nice looking terrains Dux. Most of the relevent templates I have done (Spits, Boston, Ju 88, F4F) already have desert skins available in the game.

I can do an Afrika Korps 251 as a server skin and maybe a C-47 if I can find info. The B-24 is another one, but I don't think there were any desert-schemed front-turreted B-24s. A B-24D desert skin wouldn't get accepted for the MA on the J template, but I can skin one to be built into the terrain.

Nice work Dux!

I wish we had some of those maps in the MA!  I know that some of the skins you are looking for are already done.  I checked the netaces page and saw a P-40, Spit 5 and 9, a 109E and F, a ME 110, a Boston III, and many others that flew in the African campaign. 

Great work again Dux!

Thanks, Greebo... figured you guys would know more valid variant than I.

I do know that there is a common US/British desert scheme for the B-25C... I'd love to see that one.
