Skin Request: Spitfire mk V
« on: February 11, 2007, 03:13:52 PM »
Well, as there is something wrong with my process, I cannot do this myself. So can some please make a Spitfire mk V with an RAF (European theatre as well) skin? Whenever I want to fly a nice RAF skin, all thats there is that purple-ish one. I went to find a specific aircraft but there were just so damned many to chose from. Basically ANY Spitfire mk V with a paintjob in the following style:

Default Spit V skin is the one on the right in your images.

As for RAF skins.  There were different markings used by the RAF in the ETO for different periods of the war.

The default covers roughly 1941-into early 42.

BTW there are any number of very nicely done RAF ETO skins for the Mark V in the game already.

Ah. Didnt know that was our default... its not the markings that concern me its the color scheme. Either way, could someone find time to put a Spitfire like this together? Unless someone is already doing it of course...

And Kermit, why am I so misunderstood?

Why should anyone take the time to "put one like this together" when we already have the exact one you showed as a default? :confused: :huh

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Because we have that ONE as a default. Im not asking for that exact plane, I was simply using that as an example for a color scheme.

The key to the deal is remembering that the RAF changed to the gray/green top camo when they started running ops over the channel to France.

You can see black and white photos of Spits that appear to have the brown/green camo but it's really gray.  The thing that crosses folks up is that the gray green camo also for a short time used the same earlier type fuselage roundels with the wider yellow band.  The far more used camo for Spit V ops from late 41 on was the gray green camo.

And from my standpoint it looks better :)

Any one. Ive always prefered the early brown schemes, same as I prefer the earlier aircraft. I just would like a bit of diversity instead of having to chose between default and... well... default. Im just hoping someone out there is looking for an idea and will be so kind as to make a skin like this. Hell, if you had to pick a squadron, did No. 65 squadron fly the mk V? Or No. 92? (Ill go ahead and pick a squad, and get the information on the aircraft all ready. The only reason im not doing this myself is because all 3 of my past attempts have been so wildly unsuccesful, to the point where 2 didnt even show up offline when I put them in the skins folder offline)

The default skin is 92 squadron.  Lots of photos of Jamie Rankin, flying that particular bird.
