Great skin. How will you get it in with all those in line waiting?

Well two options.  I replace one of mine already in... or I put it in the queue.

Very nice skin Fencer. I'd have thought the lack of a similar PTO skin might bump it up the queue a bit.

Thanks.

There are two Pacific theater skins in now...

From Hammer's excellent site.. www.netaces.org





I notice what skins are flown on the Mustang, as it is my favorite plane and I seem to end up fighting them alot!  It is amazing that alot of the skins seem not to be used, or at least not seen by me in the many times I run into them online.  I wonder if this is true for other planes, I am sure it is.  It is a shame as people put alot of time into doing these.  I am always of the opinion that doing a skin for a specific "Squadron" that is in game that will use it is the best use of my time.  Yet there are several other P-51s that I am going to do, both Pacific and European, I don't care if they sit on HTCs cpu in a 'queue', I just like doing P-51 skins. :)

Personally, the few skins I have done are purely for myself. If I don't see any skins I like for a plane in game, I go and find a bird from World War Two I think is sexy and skin it! Kinda selfish, but it leaves me happy.

I haven't heard much of 51s in the Pacific.  I've seen it on the infamous History Channel though :lol Anyone have any good reading about them?

So as to not to tax your young mind, just watch the P-51 episode of Dogfights.  :)
