Title: P-38J 479th FG Little Edris makeover
Post by: oboe on December 20, 2009, 02:30:09 PM

Little Edris has been in the game a long time, and needs an update badly.   She's pretty close to final submit, pending your comments.  I'm unsure about this shade of Olive Drab; I've tried several and the darker/greener shades look worse out of the cockpit to me.

Oboe is the P-38 Master.  That will be my P-38J favorite skin! :aok

With some much-appreciated input from SAPPers, went through a few iterations of olive drab shade changes and here is the final.  Will be submitting today or tomorrow, time permitting.

Thanks for the helpful comments guys, I appreciate it.   That should be my last skin update; gonna take a break now since I'll be travelling for work for the next coupla months and will be away from the game.

I understand updates to existing skins are very tedious and have a pretty likelyhood of error when trying to set them up in-game, so please know all these updates I've submitted for my older P-38L and '38J skins have made alot of work for Skuzzy.   I know how much better and more detailed the replacement skins are over the originals, so I'm grateful to Skuzzy for the extra effort he must make to get them in the game correctly.

<S> all and Happy Holidays!
