A black overall Boston Mk III would probably be received pretty warmly in AH.  People seem to like black skins.

I'm all for adding a 418 Sqn skin for the Mossie. I'm just not sure if it is worth putting a skin up on the outdated Boston III. It is one of the few planes left in AH that needs a facelift.

I am not sure, but a black bellied and grey bellied 418 Squadron Mossie VI might be ok.  It isn't like the Mossie is anywhere near its limit on skins, nor are they flooding in.

I'll revisit the Boston Mk III when it gets updated.

Thanks, Megalodon.  I hadn't seen most of those.

Any chance at any of these?  City of Edmonton would be a good one, as Scherf suggests.

I was fortunate enough to fly for 418 Squadron during the "Enemy Coast Ahead" scenario. It was one of the highlights of my time with Aces High.


We didn't have a proper skin at the time and had to resort to a substitute.


I certainly hope one of you talented types can make this happen.

I thought Jocko was working on a 418 RCAF Mossie skin. If he's not then I can do it, but it will be a month or so before I can start it.

I haven't seen or heard anything since I posted this thread last August.

Hello all,

Haven't been playing AH2 for a while but I lurk the forums now and again. Greebo, please go ahead and work your magic on the Mossie, I did indeed call dibs on a 418 skin but it's unfair to sit on it if I really don't know when I'll get around to it. Been into other sims lately and am currently doing some post-war RCAF Mustangs for DCS, for fun. Learning all about colour spec maps and bump mapping. Good to see this stuff making it into AH2!

So no City of Edmonton for me but I can offer a Winnipeg and a Vancouver...

No. 402 RCAF "City of Winnipeg" Sqn.





All-over aluminum lacquer finish, standard post war RCAF markings


No. 442 RCAF "City of Vancouver" Sqn.





Natural metal finish with early ICAO style ID codes

Also did some fictional Canadian A-10C schemes ;)

Nice P-51 skins Jocko. OK, I'll do a 418 Mossie as soon as I get time. I would like to do one with black undersides, preferably one with not only a photo of the noseart but also one showing the whole aircraft. I don't like using profiles as the primary source if I can help it.

I don't have any complete photos of 418 aircraft :headscratch: none.
