Are you saying that beyond these requirements:
"Some basic guidlines:
We will not accept skins containing the swastika. NOTE: If you are making a skin that originally had a swastiska, just leave the spot blank where the swastika would have been, or change the swastika to the Iron Cross. Use your best judgement on this.
We will not accept skins that alter the overall shape of the object.
We will only accept skins that were historically used in World War II.
Only submit the files/skins you actually change from the original.
The text description file must be named by the object name, such as p51d.txt for a P51D skin, for example."
http://www.hitechcreations.com/features/custom-skinsThere are additional caveats to prevent someone from submitting skins that have already been created? Ok cool, I'm pretty much done with it then and I'll take the opportunity to suggest that every rule that would affect skin submission be clearly posted on that page, that a potential skinner would check before selecting skins to reproduce and historically document for that submission. Doing this and anything else to facilitate submission might relieve the woeful absence of variety in many hangar selections.
Throughout the war, Finland fought exclusively with captured or purchased tanks, they had no indigenous production or their own.
"Finnish army bought from Germany in the summer 1944 three T-34" tanks.

German use of captured armor was even more proliferate. At the commencement of the largest tank battle in human history, The Battle of Kursk, Russia languished in numerical superiority, possibly as high as 3 to 1.
"Known as the largest tank battle in military history, the Battle of Prokhorovka saw 800-850 tanks of the Soviet army line up against the significantly smaller force of the Germans. Russian sources put the German number of tanks between 500 and 700. Although figures from German sources are not available, the real number is likely to have been far less, with 294 German tanks having been listed as available the day before the battle."

Beginning from end of 1941 seized T-34 they began to send to the repair plant in Riga for the restoration and the modernizations."
"In the summer of 1943 were organized entire units equipped with captured tanks, but the widest application was in parts of SS. 25 tanks T-34 of different production types (according to others data to 33) they became part of 3 Pz.Jg.Abt. 2 Pz.Gr.Div. SS 'Das Reich'."
"Captured T-34 in the period of combat near Kursk were used also in the Wehrmacht units. For example 11 Pz. Rgt. 6 Pz. Div., according to the data on 26 April 1943, had 1 tank T-34, and on 10 July 1943 - 4 tanks T-34. In the same period captured T-34 there were in Pz.Jg.Abt. 128 23 Pz.Div."
http://beutepanzer.ru/Beutepanzer/su/su_trophy.htmBased on the history of WWII, it seems absurd to me to disallow skins from captured vehicles. Here is what appears to be the final version of my German T-34.
