A Flt, 3 RNAS Camel

[Greebo]

Lyric1 found me this photo of a very brightly coloured Sopwith Camel. 3 RNAS painted many of their Camels in gaudy schemes while forming in England. They kept these aircraft once they crossed the Channel in January 1918 but in March inherited 8 RNAS' more powerful Bentley engined Camels. These were a lot more normal looking.

I've gone for yellow and red for the stripe colours on my skin. The darker stripe looks the same shade as the red on the rudder and the lighter stripe is lighter than the blue on the rudder. Black and yellow also suggested itself to me, like a wasp. The symbols on the wings are Tudor Roses.

Your work is great. I want to thank you and the other artists who create skins for everyone's use.

[Bosco123]

Simply amazing!

[whiteman]

LMAO that is great!

That turned out sweet love how you did the roses.

Oh, just a second I...

ow...

OW...

OUCH!!!


Okay, there, my eyes stopped bleeding and I can see the plane now. 

I have a feeling it will be much used! That's the reason I fly the coral sand P-39, because "I might go down, but I'm making the eyes bleed on the guy who kills me!"




[edit] P.S. For those that don't understand, that's a joke. It's a well made skin. I'm making fun of the guys that chose those colors in WW1, not of Greebo.

Hate to burst your bubble on your coral sand P-39 I sent off a photo to Rogerdee that I found of that plane & a profile that matches it. So it might be in for a new coat of paint soon.

That's a shame. I know they had that coral pink for P-40Es as well. I picked it for the eyebleed quality

Then.... it kinda grew on me! 



It's my second favorite 39 skin!


Oh well.


EDIT: er... uh... back to WW1 now!

No that was never the intent he as well as most of the people who hang out here in this forum just want to be accurate

FYI: Bruce Campbell is one of my fav B-list actors!

Also, I'm not saying we have coral camo P-40Es in game. I'm saying they had them in WW2. No bubble to bust on that one. It was a color they used in limited numbers and in specific roles sometimes, but they used it. Not to mention you showed pics of P-40Ns, not Es.
