OK skinnners - who can work under pressure - research and draw and complete a skin within ONE Week.

Figure this would be a fun competitive way to get some skins put on the old birds before they get updated. So they don't have to be perfect, just accurate historically and better than what we currently have.


This weeks contest planes (choose one) - The B5N, KI-67 or D3A

Results to posted here by Thursday, December 9th.


PS I'm eyeballing the ki67 to do - will prob start trying to find a scheme this evening.

You mean people actually take over a week to make a skin?
Heck, I can do wonders in just a couple of hours.

I've pretty much settled on a ki67 - looked through some references and found one or two that I can probably do - barring  any huge obstacles in skinning.

Only on the wings :)  The Kate's upper and lower wing surfaces are mirrored so it  speeds up the process a tad.
