And I thought it was for getting perk-points   Good work Nuttz!  
"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

Looks really nice, NUTTZ!    But the sand looks a little too red,
a little too saturated.  Seems like it should be a little more yellowish hue
(like the macchi flying over it) and more washed out.  Also, the rocky
outcroppings are outstanding, but they look too well focused, which makes them
look larger or closer than they actually are--then again maybe that's
just the graphics engine.  Love those dunes!

No the sand of North Africa looks like that. In WWII the British cammo on there Special Air Service's (SAS) Land Rover was pink. It's nick name was the "Pink Panther." These vehicles were used in different variations into the 80's.

That's true now that I think about it . I remember the bomber squadron in Alaska "the pink elephants" so named becuase their b24's were transferred from the Africa TO.

Great art, NUTTZ!

Of course, another reason to fly the Macchi is because it's a sweet, deadly ride.

 IMHO the 205 is the second best plane in the plane set. For those that haven't done it, take a 205 on a chog hunt. Its like slaughtering baby pigs.
