DEAR GOD GUPPY!!! WHERE DO YOU GET ALL THIS INFORMATION?!? YOu are like the smartest B-17 guy in the world!!! I know! Are you the guy working for Boeing who designed the B-17?!? You are! Ha! I figured it out!

Hmm. Not sure why mine would be lighter than yours Lord Krusty. I just made an aluminum layer for it and upped shineyness in the lighting effects under filter in Photoshop. Actually, I applied filters to the different regions of the actual psd to give a more sporatic look in the final, viewable, skin in game. I wish I had a fix to the problem you're describing.

Ur Guppyness, as always a walking, breathing resource. I appreciate the pics sir.

Man, you need pills.

Guppy knows everything about everything; he has a library of books that surpasses any known limits.

Very nice job on the weathering Redhawk. I like skins that look like they have been in a war rather than in an airshow.

I appreciate that coming from you Greebo. I studied your default skin to the point of exhaustion. All the period pics I have found of Mischief showed her to be very worn. Plus, I wanted Kazaa to call her a "bad, dirty girl"

Credit where it is due, that beautiful default B-17 skin is Fester's work.

Not sure if it helps, but this gives a pretty good idea of how the NMF on Little Miss Mischief looked on here last operational day. She was bellied in and didn't get repaired this time. Note of the three propellers seen, the far left shows red, the next is black and the closest is bare metal.

Just a tidbit for the final product

Heya Guppy,

I noticed that on the spinners as well. Unfortunately, the skin will only allow 1 color version (only has 1 spinner in the skin.) I decided to go with black even though I would have preferred the red

Of course, I guess red could be used instead now that we have a color photo of it You rock!

My apologies Greebo. For some reason I thought you were the skinmeister of the default 17. Needless to say, many hours studying Festers B17 work

Hey Redhawk I was browsing for information on B-17s and found the following, Cheers.

Fencer this single pic you gave me answered so many questions that have been driving me nuts. I cant thank you enough! I wanted to verify proper placement of the unit letters on the right fuselage. My guess was way off sir. I owe you a tasty 12oz beverage at the next con

Note that the tail that replaced the BMF tail has the tiger-camo medium green spotches. Those weren't random, they were a type of camo pattern. I can scan something later for an all-green B17F with the same camo. There are color photos of it online as well.

EDIT: Also note that you're going to have to cheat. The tail that they put on did NOT have staggered waist gunner positions. You're going to have to lose part of the stars and bars if you want to fit the code in properly.

Rgr on the camo Krusty. I cannot find the design you are describing, so if you can scan it for me I'd appreciate it.

I think that after the camo fix Krusty is talking about she will be done. Attaching a few pics as well as descriptions of what I did.

First pic here is the fix on the engine cowlings to the 1/3 od scheme Krusty described...
