None other than default.

None other than default.
Do you create skins ?

Do you create skins ?
No not at all I only find stuff for those who can. I do have some profiles if you like I will post them? There really isn't a lot of choices so few photographed to get legitimate profiles. Ostwind photos are rare as hens teeth.

The lack of good photos is probably why no skinner has ever made a skin for the flakpanzers. There were not many made and they were not used for long relative to other German GVs.
For me it is a month or more of work to create the first skin for a subject, doing all the panel lines, fasteners, textures, shadows, weathering etc. However most of this work gets carried over to subsequent skins. It usually takes me just a few days to change the colour scheme and some of the weathering to create another skin from the original template. So for it to be worth doing the initial work involved creating a new template there needs to be a good variety of other skins I can use it for later on and there just isn't with the flakpanzers.

Is it hard to change the color scheme?
If it isn't hard then how would I change the color scheme?

You can't just take the original skin and change the colour scheme on it, a new multi-layer skin template has to be created with all the detail and shadows etc and this takes ages. Only once this original template is made can other skins be made quickly using it.
Your best bet is to find a skinner who would want to make new flakpanzer templates, but the lack of photographic evidence for different skins to use the template for is going to put them off. HTC won't accept fantasy skins for the MA, they require evidence to prove the subject existed in RL. I haven't got time to do this though as I spend much of my skinning time making new default skins for the game and in-between those I rush out a few skins based on my existing templates.

Pretty please can we have some of these...... :O
I've been looking at that puke ugly wirble skin we have for so long I don't think I even know what any of the details look like on the thing itself anymore. I apologize Greebo I know you have many other priorities. Just a moment of weakness.
Recently I made an offline terrain so someone could get practice in the wirbel by being 800yds away from the drones...... :lol
-
You'll have to ask one of our skinning guru's ...like Greebo...
Hey Greebo - you need a 'for bribes' link in your signature.... :D
-
The folks you need to ask are HTC. Only they can say one way or the other if these can be submitted. :joystick:
Unless you are referring to a "baked in" skin for an AvA Map or Scenario/FSO thing. :headscratch:
