Thanks Skuzzy, a lot more orphaned skins there now.

Puller, the NMF Spit 16 is amongst them and I'll have a look for RL photos of it tomorrow.

Yikes.

Yikes.

Lots of new meat.

Hope you decide to do the silver spit 16 skin too 

It is really not a legit Spit XVI its a Spit IX and should not be even in game.
Post war and unarmed.

There is one Spit in the 31st that got similar treatment (NMF) but I don’t think it was in combat, just a hack.  However, it WAS damaged by flak and written off...so that’s combat.

Squadron hacks usually had their guns removed which is a no no as far as AH fighter skins are concerned. That's why we can skin an armed photo recon Spit but not an unarmed one.

Soit seems Kev's NMF Spit 16 is ineligible as an AH skin in lots of ways; it was an early Mk 9 and not a 16, was not armed, didn't see combat and was probably post-war. There are some NMF early Spit 9s that did see combat that I can skin as an AH Mk 9, but no NMF Mk 16s or late Mk 9s that saw combat and so I can skin as a Mk 16 that I know of. A late Mk 9 can be skinned as a Mk 16 as the only fundamental difference between them was where the engine was made. However for me to do so the Spit in question would have to resemble our Mk 16 to a degree. Have the larger vertical tail, and either the E wing and/or the clipped wing tips.

Usually, but not always.   And it was damaged by enemy flak.  So we will have to look at it.  I certainly wouldn’t fly an unarmed hack in a combat area.

wtfg Greebo!

Just FYI; I will be removing that skin from the game.

There are numerous potential ARMED natural metal Spits out there to be skinned so I am guessing It's not a huge loss.

There are more NMF Spit 5, 8 and 9s that can be skinned or updated. However Puller was after an updated NMF 16 and now not only is that not going to happen but the current skin's going to be withdrawn as well. So if I could find a suitable replacement Mk 16 I would skin it. I suspect any photos of NMF Spit 16s are going to turn out to be hacks or be post war aircraft.

BTW are you sure your 31st FG squadron hack was damaged by enemy flak?

That's what I read.  I didn't do any further research because it was not relevant to what I was seeking, but that's what it said.  Written off by enemy flak.   Pilot landed safely.

What a drag...

Oh well, at least I drew attention to something that wasn't supposed to be in game...

Excellent work Greebo!

[Marco]

Just took this new skin for a test drive. Excellent work!
