Title: Can a P-47 D-28 skin be used on one of our versions?

I really like this skin.  If it can be used, I'd be very grateful if someone would skin it.  :salute

it would probably be best on a d40 airframe with the tail fin in front of the vert stab.

Thanks for the link lyric.  So, can a D-28 skin be used in-game on the D-40?

There is plenty of skins in game already that fit the bill.

I can skin that for you Ranger, but it might not be right away. Got a couple of other skins to finish first. The fin fillet usually determines whether I use the D-25 or D-40 shape. The other major difference between a 25 and 40 was the dive recovery flaps, not sure if the D-28 had those or not though.

The earliest P47 to get the dive spoilers was the P47 D-30
