P-47D-11 Skin Request

[Jester]

ok i added the Pilots name anything else i missed?

She looks sharp to me.   

I know there are a LOT of shades of Olive Drab (and I mean a LOT of shades) but it seems very dark and very earth-brownish. Rest of it looks nice, and it's a skin I'd like to see in-game, but it just looks mud-colored.

On a side note about the "Muddy" color - the 49th FG's aircraft, especially early to mid-war kinda had a reputation for looking rather skuzzy. They operated out of barely improved airstrips in New Guinea and due to the harsh operating conditions and extreme weather most of their aircraft had badly faded and chipped paint and were covered in mud. Most likely the only ones worse were the aircraft that operated out of Guadalcanal in the early days of the war.

hows the f4u look

YAWN!

NO self respecting ground crew will let a plane take off caked in mud, period.

They may land that way, but before they take off I promise you they were wiped of most of the mud clumps. Not only does that make it dangerous to fly, it's like step 1 on a preflight walkaround 

There's worn, there's dirty, beat up, etc, but this just looks "dark."

Some P-38s in this game share the same problem, IMO.

its funny that its the same colour as the default drab skin but no one says thats the wrong colour !!!!

Yea, but that is sitting on the ground. They still had to take off again.

There is a piece of film footage I had seen on several shows on the History Channel showing P-38's taking off from Guadalcanal or New Guinea that has mud and water flying so high from the wheels and prop wash that you can't see any of the aircraft from the prop spinners back. I am surprised if the pilot could even see out the canopy enough to fight the enemy.

Guess it's just how you want the plane depected.

Of course, before anyone says anything - you also get the little "unspoken" extra that went along with the medal as well as the RESERVED seat at the 49th FG "Bar and Grill" anytime you want to claim it.
