What is the status on this? I love the color scheme!

It's not QUITE as appropriate as the pink Spit, but pretty close.  :D
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

White outlined star on the top of the wing on the video pictures. Was that on #14?

But it is as appropriate as that My Little Pony P-51 skin that popped up a while ago.  :D

It is in my "To Be Completed" folder on my desktop.
Haven't looked back at it much, been updating my other skins.
I will probably re-do this skin completely as I have a new LA7 template.

Found it, I knew I had this lying around somewhere.

No, it's not mine. I think it's a Greebo skin but I can't remember.

Yes it did fly like that for a few days. It was due to a misunderstanding between the pilot & the crew chief. I posted a link in Ghosts other thread about it but it is not working at present.

Long story short the pilot was talking to his crew chief that after the war there should be a memorial of a LA-7 done with the entire aircraft painted red. Then put on a platform for all to see. Some how the crew chief thought he wanted his painted red. So the next day when the pilot was scrambled he was shocked to find a bright red La-7 waiting for him. Supposedly the pilot was so upset he pulled his pistol & went looking for the crew chief to shoot him.

After a few days it was returned back to it's proper paint scheme.
No photos are known to exist of that scheme.
The story was recounted years later by the pilot himself in an interview.
The Germans who saw the plane had called him the Russian red baron.

If the Germans saw it in a combat mission, then that should qualify as combat for Aces High also :aok

+1 for this skin.

I've only ever flown the La-7 2, maybe 3 times, since I started playing in tour 113.  If this skin is accepted, you'd see me flying her a bit more often. :aok
