LOL, your stuck where I was when looking up info on her. I knew I wouldn't be doing the skin any time soon so i just stoped looking cause i knew someone else would get to it. Cool plane choice!

Saxman would be the guy to ask, he's an F4U encyclopedia. I'm looking at it but I might be missing somthing that would give it away.

Hepcat, I gotta know.  Why did you buy Acrobat 8.1?  Gimp was all you needed for skinning.

After the new Tiffie is released I'm planning to do at least one 143 Wing 'Bomb-phoon', maybe Hugh Fraser's "Nicky" or one of Harry Hardy's "Pulverizer"s

Jocko,

If you are taking requests, you might consider Pierre Closterman from 341 Alsace squadron.

Having been seduced by the dark forces once again, I am starting on Me 262 WkNr 170047 flown by Franz Schall of JG7.  Gee if anyone would have use for a 262 with a yellow band and a Weiß 1...

Fencer I think that profile may be slightly incorrect. All the books I have that make mention too 262's with the letter S on them they were marked that way & declared unfit for combat. How ever I do have a partial photo of that plane & there is no letter S on it that I can see. Also no yellow band though?

Excellent, thanks.  I had found that on the web, found he actually existed and ordered three books this afternoon to check for photos, that big one will certainly help!

I know there are a lot of 51 skins for the B, but I'd love to see this one...

Reply to Tec:

I'm 99% shure this is a -1D Corsair (or an FG-1D). Most (if not all) -1D's came out of the factory already painted dark sea blue, and even some of the early ones still had the framed canopy of the -1A's. One tip, try searching the pilot or the squadron instead of the plane.

Good luck :aok

Hehe, that's the great thing about skinning, always an excuse to buy more books.  Now I need another bookshelf, with the amount of books piled up on the floor this place is starting to look like some university professor's musty old office.

Did you get Volume 4 of 2nd TAF which just came out?  I gotta great wife, she loves books too so the room just outside my office is lined with book shelfs on three walls (the other wall is a bay window looking out over the lake) and I already need more shelf space..  Darn Sci Fi takes up alot as well.  :aok
