Title: Lancaster Skins[s]
Post by: Bogie603rd on July 20, 2006, 10:38:58 AM

Hello all,

I know that recently there was a post here by Kev367th. I searched for it in both the "search" tab and through clicking around on the pages. Couldn't find it. Anyways,  I was wondering if anyone had finished a lancaster skin I could use for an upcoming terrain of mine. It doesent have to be any particular squadron, just a nice Lancaster skin.

Thanks in advance.:aok

Just got to complete a B-24 first.

Tinkered with it a little more.

Got so many problems with stretching, re-use of parts, duplication, mirroring etc it's a real nightmare.

Kev, correct me if I'm wrong, but you missed the cut-off for this skins update, for this lanc, right?

Not sure if it was done or still being tinkered with.

Yup had missed cut-off.

It's such a real pain to work on.

I'm just asking if there were any Lancaster bombers that didn't have a como paint job that saw combat.

There are only a small handful of lancasters that weren't painted like you see. These are either unarmed transports or postwar variants, neither of which can be used for submitting skins to HTC.

Sorry guys,
My Mum was rushed into hospital last week and is now in ICU after undergoing emergency surgery for a ruptured ulcer.

Going to be a wee while until I can get back to skins.
Once she gets moved to a regular ward I will probably take up the brush again.
