Rust!
Aluminum doesnt rust, it oxidises and produces a white powder.

Will try and get it finished this weekend and send it to HT.
Hopefully you'll have it next skins update.

Thanks very much for that one, should be a great skin .

...btw the 885 Sqn is not an American fighter, its in Operation Torch markings. You can still read Royal Navy on the fuselage.

...another great skin for a Seafire IIc would be an "East Indies Fleet" markings one, circa 1943, but I am having a devil of a time finding a reference to send. Most are for Seafire IIIs.

Yup, sent it to HT as that.

Another beauty, please send it! Your making fast friends with my squad. :)

Those are hard references to find, amost all the Seafire IIc's are Med based markings. I think the East Indies Fleet markings are quite striking. I was hoping somebody would do one.

Those are some really good Seafires Kev, I liked the Torch one especially. Its inspired me to do another F4F in a similar scheme.

Just wondering if the 880 Sqn skin was submitted yet?

Title: Seafires
Post by: Kev367th on November 01, 2006, 01:30:01 AM

These were in fact on the 'old' model Seafire and used to be in-game prior to the Spitfrie/Seafire model overhaul.

Also these were some of my earliest skins, and looking at them, EEEEEKKKKKK.
