Title: Vote for my first P-40N skin.
Post by: Devil 505 on August 03, 2020, 08:39:34 PM
So I'm putting the finishing touches on a P-40N template and I have the initial scheme narrowed down to two options from the 49th FG - but I can't decide which I want to do first. We'll let this thread go until the weekend and see who wants which scheme to be first.

Option A: "White 16" with diamond tail

Option 2: "Island Dream"
(http://216.187.79.26/2010/reviews/books/p7hg_img_11/fullsize/Sample_Page_3_fs.jpg)

You decide!

Island Dream by a nose, because everyone loves a plane with kill flags on it!  :banana:

I'd say the 76 squadron, but thats my bias showing...  Island Dream looks pretty cool

Not that my vote counts for much but I love the diamond tail of White 16.

My vote would be White 16, definitely a more interesting design.

I'll vote for White 16 as well.   I just looked at the current selection of skins; 1/2 (5 of 10) of the P-40Ns have plain white tails.   The blue diamond pattern is more visually interesting and sets it apart from the current lineup.

Of course, any of the 3 would be great additions.

Gotta go with the Diamond Tail, but that wasn't an easy call.   :)

Yes, I saw this build when I was originally looking for reference on this plane.

Interesting that some depictions have a blue stripe on the tail and others don't have it.

Eventually I'll be doing all 3. This thread is just to decide which will be first. I also plan on doing N's from the MTO, CBI, and Russia.

What makes you think it is not a CHESS pattern?  :D

So far it's "White 16" leading 10 votes to 4.

I like how they were offered as 'option A' and 'option 2.'
