Title: New Kiwi skin
Post by: Vulcan on October 15, 2021, 04:55:27 PM
That new hog RNZAF skin made me giggle.

Tutae Wera translates as sh*t hot.

Yep, Tex finds some unique examples of blue planes and does a masterful job of representing them here.  :cheers:

Very nice skin!  :airplane:

Is that a F4U4? Definitely wouldn't be good if I flew it all the time because of that skin  :devil

Maori.   

Google translates it as "Hot Stools"

The skinners all do a really fantastic job of researching their skins. You can read Tex's write up on this particular skin here: https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,403786.0.html

Yes, from gathering from Kiwi modelers the correct translation would be “Hot Sh!#”. Old publication had it as Sh&@ Hot but they said that was incorrect. Was a very worn out F4U-1D that survived the war only to be scrapped in 1946.

If I just type it in and leave it at "detect language" it selects Latin and translates it as "Safe wera".  Weird.

Depends, some Maori will tell you it means Whale Turd.
