I've been asked for P-51 skins a few times, but I don't have time to make a template for them. Also there is a thread in this forum asking for 262 skins that has gone unanswered.

Here are suggestions for plane types based on what I'd like to see more of from planes I don't normally fly (I only skin planes that I regulary fly, sorry)

He 111
Me 410
Storch
Ju 87s
P-40s (especially the C and F models) Desert, Soviet, and Pacific theater schemes.
ALL the WW1 planes.

Aren't the P-51 skins full, too?
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.

Currently standing at 26 P-51D skins and 20 P-51B according to the skins page, max is 32 per ride IIRC. In theory there could be some more P-51 skins submitted but not yet released, but I've not seen any shown in here recently so I doubt it.

I'd like to see more skins for both Panzer IV variants, and more for the  T34/85. I'd also really like to see a British M3 skin, I started one with the Mickey Mouse pattern but have let it go by the way side.   :frown:

As far as planes go a French Spitfire, a Romanian or Hungarian He111, a Hungarian Me410.  Maybe some more Dutch skins.

All in all, I'm impressed with what we have to pick from.  It is appreciated!

FWIW... NO MORE P51 SKINS!   ;)

The KG4 skin is finished and the skins submission page said that it has been released, however the down loader is acting a bit wonky so I'm waiting for the skins download page to update so I can install it manually. I did what Skuzzy said to do with the skins folder but in never re-downloaded it...

The Macci skins I'm doing are:

C.202

84 Squadriglia 4 Stormo 84-12


73Squadriglia 9Gruppo 4 Stormo 73-10
This one should not be a dark brown, from what I can tell it should be a mid-tone green. I haven't done a lot of research into this one yet.


C.205

1 Squadriglia 1 Gruppo Caccia 18-1

When the C.202 and C.205 first came out I knew it would be popular with other skinners. So I started this thread to see if anyone wanted to reserve particular aircraft to skin. Potsnpans reserved the JG 77 C.205 but he hasn't skinned it yet. If he is no longer intending to skin it then I will be happy to do so.

Thanks for that people but I think I am in the mind to do some large skin upgrades, (from 1024 to 2048 sizes) he111 has them I have done some for the b-24 and awaiting release of my new b-17 skins to. What about a 2048 size c-47 and both the b-25 models?
