I've just started a Finnish Air Force Hurricane Mk I, specifically HC-452. This aircraft still exists in a Finnish museum in its original paint and can be seen here and here.

That entire magazine was taken from this book.

Just thought you would like to have your skin historically correct from written English text that says the scheme was based off of the photographic evidence that's all.


As long as I'm updating my B-29 skin I might as well take a stab at another. The P-47's and the A-20 interest me the most. I'm assuming that they are accurate, but I'll be doing a little more research first. Is there anyone currently working on any of those skins?

I sometimes do A-20 and P-47 skins but I am not working on any currently. I do have a few P-47s and a Boston skin in the batch that is to be released to the game shortly.

The P-47s are all current generation AH2 skins but the A-20 is an old AH1 skin. Like most AH1 skins it is difficult to work on, with lots of texture patches and stretched areas. Also at some point in the next few years it will probably be replaced by an AH2 skin which would obsolete any existing skins done for it.

My first attempt at a skin...

Based off Mozart Kaufman's P-40E in the Aleutians, Mozart also flew the P-39 and P-47, was transfered out to England for D-Day. He was shot down in a low level strafing run and was captured and interned in Stalag Luft 11 with Zemke and Gabreski.

Make a new thread to show off the skin. I'm sure most of us would love to see it in a bit more detail, I for one would.

How bout instead of Moelders pre B of B Jg53. Bird, you take a crack at one of the August-September JG 53 birds with the red band in place of the Ace of Spades.  Preferably a Yellow nosed bird : :aok

Molders was with JG51 for the B of B I believe.

Gotta love those Emils

Currently working on a Romanian He-111. Done the majority of it, I just need to find time to finish it. Slow work, not to be expected in the near future. But it is in the works
