thx guys! :)

im currently working on some last minute changes (underside color, correct font and squad marking placement) pointed out by Ramzey to match the historical original. As soon as it's finished Lucull will replace the skin with a revised version. Unfortunately i can't yet launch AHII so i use AHI to view the skins. I will ask lucull to post some more screenshots from AHII when ill finish the work.

Underside roundels are incorrect. They are fuselage roundels from 1941. Other than that looks great. Have a look at underside 1940 roundels from a book or model.

I don't like to nit pick, but you said you were working on some things anyways...

I don't like the way the gunpowder streaks look like oil streaks. They're too well defined, if you know what I mean? They're too sharply drawn out (like straight lines) from each barrel. I think, rather, that you would get wider "puffs" of smoke residue on the wings, covering the entire bank of 4 guns, rather than 4 streaks for each gun.

It's an aesthetic comment, but I only mention it because you're redoing stuff.

Under wing roundels are still wrong, if you want HTC to authorise it for the BoB Scenario, its going to need fixing, more than likely. Other than that its a very good skin, grade A.

Not to sound like a dork about it, but you should always double check markings like that before a final submission.

I didn't officially try to submit it yet :)

I posted the pics so I read your opinions and correct some mistakes that would be probably pointed out, as its my first attempt on a skin...

I have already corrected the roundels, also new gun smoke. I need to look through it again tho, to make sure it will be the last update, and i hope for it to be ready in 2 days.

thank you for all the comments :)

Can this be added to the MA list of skins?  I'd like to see a Polish Squadron skin available for the Spit 1.
