OK skinnners - who can work under pressure - research and draw and complete a skin within ONE Week.
Figure this would be a fun competitive way to get some skins put on the old birds before they get updated. So they don't have to be perfect, just accurate historically and better than what we currently have.
This weeks contest planes (choose one) - The B5N, KI-67 or D3A
Results to posted here by Thursday, December 9th.
PS I'm eyeballing the ki67 to do - will prob start trying to find a scheme this evening.
-
i like this idea when does is start?
-
you got till Dec 8th to finish one of the 3 planes listed above :)
-
You mean people actually take over a week to make a skin?
Heck, I can do wonders in just a couple of hours.

Only on the wings :) The Kate's upper and lower wing surfaces are mirrored so it speeds up the process a tad.

Pearl Harbor
Tail Markings: 'AI-301' from the Akagi attack group.
Mitsuo Fuchida lead the first wave at Pearl Harbor and radioed the famous "Tora tora tora!" message to the fleet, meaning they had achieved complete surprise.
