Brazilian P40N FAB-4051
« on: July 28, 2013, 01:19:04 PM »
P-40N, FAB - 4051, 14 Grupo de Aviação de Casa, Forca Aérea Brasileira, Porto Algere (RGS), 1944.

I have a few more changes to make to the skin, but they are minor.One of the changes is the prop color, I forgot to change it -___- and didn't realize I didn't change it till after I was already taking the screenshots.

Also, that poses a small problem. I don't know where the prop thing is for the P40. You know, the little rotating thing that holds the prop.  :headscratch:

I would post the information about it, but I can't speak Portuguese. . .sooooo if anyone speaks it I will be more than willing to send you the text info.  :lol

They never seen combat not sure if patrolling the Brazilian coast line would count? May want to ask HTC before you put anymore work in to it. Save you from wasting time on a skin that may be denied.

They were used to find submarines, it said they saw combat. From the select Portuguese I can understand.

Portugal was officially neutral during WW2. Based on that the skin shouldn't be allowed.

I skinned a 109F for Spain and it was denied for the same reason (neutrality of the nation it was skinned under).

EDIT: Think of it this way, The Swiss flew a TON of sorties to defend their borders throughout the war, but that doesn't detract from the fact they were neutral. They were just defending their borders. Same with the Portuguese submarine hunts.

Hold the phone. I think I had a major brain fart... I saw your comment about not reading Portuguese... But the skin is BRAZILIAN, right?

Prop hub is on the lower right corner with the two prop blades sitting on it, it is a rectangle which has a mostly yellow band
