These are Works In Progress, but I need to pick a smaller number to concentrate on for submission.  I'd like to do skins that people would like to see in game, so if you would, please vote for a few skins you'd like to see me continue to work on.  As always, comments are welcome.  I know I have a couple of favorites in here.  Thanks in advance!

Lt Col Elwyn Righetti's "Katydid", 55th FG, 338th FS



Capt Ray Wetmore in "Daddy's Girl", 359th FG, 370th FS



Capt Chuck Yeager "Glamorous Glen III", 357th FG, 363rd FS


Capt Lowell Brueland's "Grim Reaper" of the 354th FG, 355th FS



Lt Col Gordon Graham's "Down For Double" from the 355th FG, 354th FS



Lt Fred Warner's "Chicago's Own" of the 354th FG, 356th FS



Maj William Shomo's "The Flying Undertaker" of the 82nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (PTO)



Lt Louis Curdes "Bad Angel" of the 3rd Air Commando Group, 4th FS (PTO)

These are my top four pics.

Capt Ray Wetmore in "Daddy's Girl", 359th FG, 370th FS

- This skin has a unique visual appeal. I admire the green nose. There aren't any green nose patterns like this currently in game.

Capt Chuck Yeager "Glamorous Glen III", 357th FG, 363rd FS

- One of the most requested skins to include in the game. Plus Chuck Yeager has a great history too.

Lt Col Gordon Graham's "Down For Double" from the 355th FG, 354th FS

- I don't believe there are any 355th skins for the D in game. The paint scheme on this profile is also unique.

Lt Louis Curdes "Bad Angel" of the 3rd Air Commando Group, 4th FS (PTO)

- A good Pacific theater skin. The story behind this pilot alone is worth the inclusion for this one.

Skip Yeager.  The PTO skins are a must.  Down for a Double and KatyDid to finish out the 4.  You know what? Submit all of em but Yeager.  I'm Yeager'd out :)

They are all great, but we do need PTO skins in the P-51.  How many do we have right now on AH?

Guess my Commonwealth posts have gone to waste. :(

Frankly submitt them all the quality is good enough & lord knows there are a few already in game that should be laid to rest & make room for what you have. :aok

Lt Col Elwyn Righetti's "Katydid", 55th FG, 338th FS



Obviously :D

I'm drooling here Oboe. I love them all but besides KATYDID it would be Down for Double, Daddy's Girl, and The Flying Undertaker.


I feel like I'm placing a bet at the horse races.

Katydid, Daddy's Girl and Grim Reaper.

Lets not go overboard on Pacific skins.  The mainland China ones are cool but a proponderance of them is a waste as there just wasn't much of an Air War there.
