Bristol F2. Skins.

[Krusty]

Well, was it operational training (i.e. saw action, even though "training" in designation)? Or just UK-based training (i.e. never went to the continent)?

I personally can't say for sure, I have built the plastic model (holy schlamoley is exactly right on the scheme!) and will look at the brief history in the kit itself. it should specify if it was operational or not.

I have more info on No. 33 Squadron but no more specifics on the Crocodile Fighter.

I have been waiting for a couple of books that I think have some history on these aircraft should be here this week some time. The books are no longer printed so they are some what hard to find.

I really want to skin one since its my favorite plane in WWI but I don't have the his res pack installed. If one of you could give me the hires files Id be more then willing to make a few for you guys. BTW #24 looks like a winner.

Have a photo of it now claim it if you want it.

A-7194 

3 skins that would all work...IDK which one i like the most now 

One more picture of A-7194 that might help make up your mind.

The books I ordered arrived they have info about the aircraft but no mention of being in a training squadron or a home defence squadron. The one thing in common for training squadrons & home defence squadrons is that none of the pictures I have show a rear gun in any of those two squads?

Some new profiles I have. Also there is photos for a lot of them if any one wants to choose a particular aircraft.

i "might" skin a F2B as it looks to be a good starting point for me (beginner)

[Krusty]

Because of the damage layer technical issues, I might suggest skinning a WW2 plane as your first attempt, then after gaining some experience move on to the F2b.

yeah i just read that,will that effect ALL the WW2 skins currently in game when the damage model is changed?

[Krusty]

It is unique to the WW1 planes only, with their cloth/wood construction.

The texture for this skin is daunting, I'm making a version of it with a layer that shows each part labeled.  I hope it helps some people.

edit:  The trouble starts when we come to parts that I don't know the names of .

Ok, lyric, you just made my decision even harder!  Ok, how's this.  Any skin that's brown and white will do

Are there any color swatches for WWI planes?  I looked at simmerspaintshop, maybe I didn't look hard enough.
