Looks good!    What are the details of the squadron it was in?    HTC has said that skins must be historical - you've mentioned it's an FM-2 , which is a mid-war variant of the F4F.   But you have the very early war US insignia shown on the plane.   I think the  red dot in the center was painted over pretty early in 1942...

Keep up the good work!

FM2 would never have had that color camo or the insignia like that.

It's an early war F4F scheme.

The thing is though, we already have an F4F skin in the game of this early war paint scheme.  Not sure if the squadron is the same, but the insignia and paint is.  Not to take the wind out of anybody's sails, just saying what is.

HTC allowed two F6F-5 skins that were almost identical (ones with the light blue underside with the dark blue fuselage and the shark mouth), so what's the problem with an F4F-4 with different squad marks from the default skin?

It is a pretty damn sweet skin though.

Yeah, I saw that Hellcat skin.  From the name of the skin, they both came from the same squadron just done by two different people.  I'd bet it was an accident.  And even if it wasn't, I wouldn't want to be submitting skins that look so similar to others already in the game.
