Title: Memorial P-47s
Post by: Dragon Tamer on May 25, 2014, 09:23:20 PM

I wanted to do this with the P-51 but the P-47D-11 was the only American fighter that I had with all the workable layers completed. Still, I'm happy (mostly) with the way things turned out. I don't get a chance to express my creativity when I'm skinning a whole lot so I was quick to jump on this opportunity. I can't submit these skins to use online, however I am providing a link so that you guys can download and use these skins yourself in the offline arena.

Installing is easy, drag the zip folder into the AH skins folder and unzip and you are done.

Fresh paint.

Thank God the Mona Lisa is Italian, you'd paint over Old Glory and glue random patches on Memorial Day.  :ahand

I'll have to side with Frenchy on this one.  Remembering those who didn't come home doesn't require us to sink into tacky maudlin stuff.

He did it as a nice gesture that doesn't hurt anyone.  I personally like em.  Modern day politically correct bs where someone who did this nice gesture is given a hard time about it.  Why?

Player1, it would look better if you centered the POW circle on the wing, instead of so far forward. :salute

I LOVE THE SKIN!  :salute

In my most humble opinion there should be a arena where these sort of things could be used. These skins would be a credit to Aces high!

Maybe it could be put into one of the AVA arenas so it could be used in combat?

Maybe the AVA could host a custom skin air show, where things like this could be put into a arena and a price could be given out
