P51D skin request
« on: May 19, 2014, 07:26:54 AM »
 Is anyone willing to skin Robin Olds' P51D "Scat VI"? I'm sorry I couldn't get any pictures, my iPad wouldn't let me copy any...  :frown: P.S if anyone could also skin his P38J, that would make some Robin Olds fans very happy  :D

I'm willing to do both of them though it may take a while to get them done. If you could also tell me what the name (or markings) of the P-38 was so I can find a color profile for it.

Thank you so much from an olds fan  :x the name where Scat III for the P38. It had invasion stripes from its engines to the middle of its alirons and across most of its booms as well as red rudders. The P51, scat VI, had no markings other than the glare guard over the engine, Scat VI on the nose, a red rudder and ofcourse US markings in the normal places for both of them. I would suggest looking it up on the internet since I found acurate pictures for both of them there, but was unable to copy them. http://www.crazyhorseap.be/Mustangs/Mustangs/PH-VDF%20Scat%20VII/PH-VDF.htm this will give you a good picture of it to work off of  for scat VI I hope. The drawn one might be better, since it gives you a view of the right, where most of the detail is. http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,264509.0.html And here is a link to a past thread about this skin for the 38J. The first two pics. are the ones that could be used for the skinning.  :salute good luck

The link says Scat VII. :old:

Making sure maybe there's not a P51 named this that the skinner might accidentally  use instead.

I'm sorry, am I the only one that has seen the "no more P51D skins" executive order?  If not, I'll go find it and re-post it. Until I can verify, I suggest no more P51D skins. There are too many other gv's and aircraft that need more options.  ;)

I was only kidding.  I should have been blatant with my sarcasm factor.  Sorry.   :)

I was considering doing a wirble skin or two but I'm on the fence about that because I like being able to see them from far away.  :)
