Possible B-17 adoptions

[oboe]

We currently have 2 old skins for the same B-17G, "Little Miss Mischief", Tail #297880.   They depict the plane at different time periods, with Thunder's skin being earlier and RedHawK's version shows her after she has been rebuilt with an olive drab rear fuselage section:

B-17G "Little Miss Mischief", 91stBG 324th BG by Thunder


B-17G "Little Miss Mischief", 91stBG 324th BG by RedHawK


As I work through updating the B-17s, I think the half and half version would be a nice skinning challenge, but I am wondering if anyone would mind if I replaced Thunder's version of "Little Miss Mischief" with a different B-17 skin (from the same BG) like "Hikin' for Home" from the 322nd BS, or "Super Mouse" from the 324th BS?   Just seems to me we don't need two skins of the same aircraft.   I love the colorful nose art of "Super Mouse", and "Hikin' for Home" would give us one skin from each of the squadrons that made up the 91st BG.







Just wondering what you guys thoughts are.  As always, if anyone loves these skins as they are, I can skip adopting and leave them be.  <S>

I like and use RedHawk's - it's one of the more unique skins for 17's.  Plus I figure it might buy a few seconds as people admire it before they start shooting at it.

OK, I'll steer clear of these skins and leave them as is.  Thanks Shane.

The late version deserves to be given a direct update. The half-and-half nature of it is too cool.

The early version is nothing special. I'd say go ahead and replace it with something similar. My vote is for "Super Mouse"

Agreed.

I'd say update the half and half version and do a similar looking skin to replace the other. Shane will still have the skin he likes to fly. However with your work, plus AH3-friendly colours and lighting files, it will be a much better looking version of it.
