P-51C and P-51K

[oboe]

My P15B skin was accepted March 2nd 2009, and still hasn't seen a day in AH so the wait for the B is more then 6-8 months

I would've pulled an existing P-51B skin and inserted your submission sight unseen Larry.  I think AH is way overdue for fresh 51 skins.   A lot of the current skins do not do justice to the game.

The problem I have with the P-51B's is that they all have Malcom hoods which was just an occasional modification

Well lets see a pic of your 51B skin Larry!

I would like the P-51-C

I would like the P-51-C

Let's try this one more time.  We have a P51C.  The B and C are identical but were built in different locations.  Some of the skins done are C models.'

Keep in mind these are cartoon airplanes.  Considering the cartoon aircraft modeling is being done in Texas, it's more likely that our P51B/C is a C model

What is it about the 51C that you like better then the 51B? I would like to know

No, you're a better skinner then Ill ever be I wouldn't want someones work to be pulled just to make room for something of lesser quality. It just ticks me off that some people have 3,4,5+ slots in the skin list that look so much alike when there are such a limited number of slots. That's why you'll never see me do more then three skins for one plane, and I really don't like doing that. My main limit is two just so others can have their work shown.

I don't recall the exact problem as it is a long time since I first heard it, but I seem to recall it had to do with video memory.

From personal experience, every time a new skin renders I get stutters and lag which may or may not translate to warps or possibly getting booted.

Turning other's skins off is no fun.   

And, if you want extra skins just so you can fly them and only you can see them, exactly what's the point?  You can pretend....

Oh I don't think so.  Didn't you do the P-39Q "Snooks 2nd"?   That is a great-looking scheme and a well-done skin- one I most often choose when lumbering around the MA in the Iron Dog.  I don't have any 51B skins to pull for yours, but if I did, I would, if it was up to me.

I hear ya about multiple skins by the same skinner - I'm guilty of that with the '38.   But it seemed not too many people were willing to skin the '38 though- in fact even though the '38 was one of the first 3D models to be redone, the 38L still has open skin slots.   I always figured HTC could pull any of my skins to make room for someone else's, but it hasn't worked out that way.
