Nice job on the Mustangs!

What would you think about refreshing my Dad's B-25 that's in the game? 345th BG / 501st Squadron Nose Art "Quitch"?

Would love to see it updated!

Thanks, bro.   I am not opposed to that, but Greebo is our guru on the B-25.    Have you seen his work?  You can't go wrong having him do it if he's willing. 

I'll check the adoption list.

I don't see it on the adoption list but that hasn't been updated in awhile.   I'll ping Greebo.

I think the default skins are controlled by Hitech and needs special attention by him.

Sorry but the default skins for each ride are built into the game download and can't be updated by skinners. Hitech would need to replace it with another B-25C skin, adding this new default into a game update for all players to download. He could then put Quitch into the list of skins that can be adopted by skinners. Its a fair bit of hassle for him though, so I don't know if he'd want to do it.

Stupid question, is "Quitch" the default B-25 skin?

Not a stupid question; I just checked and Quitch is not the default B-25C skin.   "Labor Pains" is the default.   Quitch is listed as 345BG/501BS by Fester.

I think Quitch used to be the default skin, most likely it got changed when all the default skins had bump and spec maps added. Fester has said it is OK for his skins to be updated by me so I'll ask Hitech if he can add it to the orphaned skins list. Once that happens I will be able to adopt the skin and create an up to date version of it. Some RL photos of the aircraft would be helpful though.

Is the orphan list being updated?

(If we're waiting on you to update all of Fester's stuff it's gonna be awhile.  Hehehe.   He’s got quite the catalog of skins out there.)

As soon as I read the subject, I immediately thought of Kate Capshaw.

Pics are kind of hard to find. I have a book on the Air Apaches that has some shots. I will scan and upload. The Quitch pics will be similar to these.

I researched the squadron records and he actually flew this one the most. Potent Cock  :)

Not sure which post made me laugh more, yours...

What I have.
You have two choices of nose art as well.
