Title: Memphis Belle
Post by: Sisk on January 25, 2005, 09:37:13 PM

I was thinking of doing a Memphis Belle skin.  Would you guys be interested in it if i were to make one?  This would be my first AHII skin, but I've done some skinning work in other games.  Just curious to know if anybody would want to use a Memphis Belle skin. :)

The "Belle" was a B-17F.

The model Fort we have is the G Model with the extra twin .50 cals in the chin.

Would be nice but would be incorrect and unhistorical on the Fort we have IMO.

I know its not the right model, but the chin guns shouldnt make too big a difference, unless skuzzy really doesnt like it :P

It doesnt quite work out.  I tried it a while back and it did come out, but there were many things wrong.

1.  The nose art on the left side is altered because the navigator's window cuts right in the middle of it.

2. The squadron codes on the side of the plane are mirrored, so its impossible to put them in the correct location.

Those are only 2 of the most noticeable problems I found.  I'll post a picture if I can find them.
