One of the joys of IL-2 is that you can tart up your ride in any paint scheme you fancy and fly it online in Hyperlobby; in AH, all such have to be approved before they can be seen online by others.
My scabby ol' IL-2 Sea Hurricane Mk.IA and Polikarpov I-16 'Ol Moskotch' are nice, but the shiny Dayglo Crimson Bf109G with USAAF markings I saw the last time I was in the arena was WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!
