Title: Skin Request II/JG 77 MC205
Post by: jdbecks on April 03, 2010, 07:41:40 PM

Would anyone be kind enough to skin the II/JG77 MC205 they operated in 1943? that had 25 aircraft in total.

here is some pics;

The issue with doing an MC205 skin is that the airplane will soon (hopefully) be remodeled, making any skins for it obsolete in the process, and that old skins are a PITA to do in the first place...

I believe that VonMessa has spoken for one similar to that when they get redone.  He will do a fine job with it.

I've been playing around with skinning the Macchi, and it  has been tough. Saving the image to BMP has given me a real tough time, trying to get dither to save it close to what I want has been difficult

Still just learning on first skin.
