Title: Skin request
Post by: Muzzy on August 29, 2015, 03:06:43 PM

FM-2. The old girl needs a makeover if there's anyone who would be willing to take this on:

835 NAS flown by NZ pilot Alan Burgham. Below are photos of the skin as flown by the Commemorative Air Force.

Those colors are not accurate. That's already in-game FYI:

Well darn it all. I'd really like a new skin for the FM-2. Back to the library. :)

Be lucky we have what is there. The FM-2 model is really old and very limited. It's hard to skin. Only a few skinners would even bother tackling it, but since it's in line to be updated sooner than most the chances are that the work will be lost and need to be done again.


In short, folks are waiting for the upgrade and then will work on more skins. I would caution too much hope, since the handful of skins we currently have cover just about all possible paint schemes the wildcats used in ww2. There wasn't much variety on this plane.
