Hello all,
I thought of starting this thread to have a place for people to request a skin, or people to mention skins that are needed. It may also make a good place for skinners to CLAIM a requested skin, so we don't have multiple people doing the same thing. If this thread gets popular, I may occasionally update with lists of what skin is associated to what skinner when some are being claimed to help keep it organized. If this thread seems like a waste, so be it. =)
Please follow these rules before posting :
#1. If you are requesting a new skin, please have at least a profile of the aircraft or GV you wish to see and link it (or show it) here.
#2. Please do not request skins to be created for AH1 models. Not many skinners want to take on models that will likely be worthless once they are updated to AH2 standards.
#3. Please, and very importantly, do not request skins created for AC/GV models that are ALREADY FULL.
#4. Please respect the work of each other, and do not request "low quality" skins to be replaced, except by their original creator outside of this post.
So, everyone, what do we need and what do you want?

I request this German C.202. I know the model hasn't been updated, but it may be years before it is, so I'm requesting it now.
:salute

In my thread "Upcoming Mossie skins?", lyric1 and I have put up several profiles of B.XVI and FB.VI mossies if someone wishes to claim one. First come, first serve!

The green/green is probably wrong. If it were a captured machine flown by the Luftwaffe, it would probably have the 2-tone brown "herring bone" scheme which was in use.
Also, JG108 was apparently a training unit, and you're getting into fuzzy areas with "captured" (from friendly forces, but captured nonetheless?) skins, and with their role.
Were they used in combat?
I've got my C205 template and I could pump out a skin for the 202 based on this, but it would have to be a combat skin.

I've got a nice photo of a JG77 205 if that helps. Found a decent profile of an Italian flown, LW marked 202 as well.

I think both of Fencer's PTO ponies are more detailed and colorful than the current PTO skins, and its too bad they aren't in game yet. I guess there are squad COs who can be difficult about skin swaps, but the community as a whole loses when fine work like this is kept out of the game. I could easily see COs wanting to standardize on either or both of these skins, ironically.
I wish we could work with Skuzzy to find a way around these skin blocks!
-
I admit, I'm out of the loop on how we get skins in game. In game squad CO's are blocking us from having those two amazing skins?

idk but u know im not holding the 39th pony up :lol
-
fencer, didn't you have the idea of having a choice of 15 skins in your slots or something like that?
-
You guys should take the skin discussion to another thread or the wish list. This is a thread for requests, all I did was respond that the 51 requested was done already.

I would really love a skin from the 305th BG (H) any plane, just so I could fly in the skin of my grandfathers unit. There is also alot of history with the 305th being that is LeMay's command . I have alot of B&W photos of the groups planes :cheers:
