P40 Profiles.

[Krusty]

I'm sure we'll get most of the ones we just lost back, in due time. We have twice as many slots so no worries about getting some RAAF skins.

[FTJR]

I sincerely hope that someone skins the RAAF's 75th Fighter Squadron.  I believe the 75th is one of the units that escorted my grandfather's unit during his bomb runs up and down the slot.  He never had anything but RAAF P40's, and most of them were with the white tails.  I'll dig deeper into his flight records and see if I can find any more details.

I intend to do a 75 Squadron skin, when a few other projects are out of the way.

Thank you!

I don't think that's correct at all Lyric.

They strafed some ships in combat, painted in normal P-40E markings. After some combat they were THEN (after) ordered to a repair field for engine overhauls. At this field the ground technicians working on them painted them, and they never flew combat again after this point, being immediately captured.

Further, they were stripped of all equipment including guns and radios in an attempt to get the most range to escape the coming Japanese, so they were also not in a combat state.

Non-combat situation, temporary markings applied by repair crews during scheduled engine overhaul, while being removed of all gear to effectively combat the enemy.

Not a valid skin in any way, IMO.


P.S. 2 planes might explain a couple of things but the photos still show a thin splotchy paint (the base colors showing through easily) and it fading very quickly or just washing off (heavy moisture, jungle conditions) that was slapped on. I think far too much emphasis is being placed on those planes. They slapped some paint on the noses and it rinsed off quickly. It was not used that way.

Misread that page was under the impression two different locations of attacks but are all in the same area that the Japanese landed at.

Well so much for those two.

I'm liking those Checkertails.

I like the bottom one on this set.

If I had the money, I'd pay someone to re-make the "Stud" skin again. Even if I was the only one who could see it in-game, that is all that would matter to me.

Both squadron hacks so not permitted sadly.

I know there is a way to mess around with prototype skins though >.>

I must tinker....

*runs off to tinker for a bit*

pyro:"P-40B and P-40C and their export versions are acceptable skins for the P-40B.  P-40D and E skins are acceptable for the P-40E.  No skins for variants later than the E are acceptable at this time."

YEAH!

I've seen screen shots of, Ink using hit prototype skin in-game.

I'm confused O_o

How are you able to do this, Ink?

not sure totally...I set my in game skin to default....and offline I set the skin I created as the selected skin, and in some films my skin shows up.....but not all the films show it

I was thinking about deleting or moving all the KI skins and leaving the skin I made in the KI folder maybe it will show up in every film
