Title: P-51D (dont worry its not another skin)
Post by: thebest1 on September 23, 2004, 01:27:01 PM

Would it be worth making a good P51 skin? Or do we have enough allready?

wouldn't hurt.  HTC can always start to cycle them if there's an excess.

need some more colorful skins, but you may want to wait til they re-work the art files to get rid of them mirrors and stuff.

I've always like the look of the bright colors of the Pacific Theater P-51s, but if you're thinking of doing an 8th AF one, just a simple bare metal beat to hell would be good.

The problem with the p51 skins I've seen is half of them are identical except for a colored prop and maybe the tips of the wings.

That's not enough to visually distinguish a fighter from another with the same setup but different colors. I want a skin that SCREAMs different. I like skins like the blue P51d. I like skins like the silver P51b, etc, etc. I like the occasional RAF skin here and there.


Did you know that the original P51s in RAF service were painted with P40 wingtip patterns because their own people were having a hard time telling if it was friendly, and it also helped that and enemy fighters would think it was as well, and under estimate it.

How about a skin for the P51b that makes it look like a P40?

Does anybody have any clue what I'm talking about, or should I stop now?
