lyric1,

Thanks! Those are the pics from Warpath Across the Pacific by Hickey. That's one of the books I have and the one I would have scanned. Saved me a bunch of trouble there!

Thanks Lyric1, those photos will do nicely.

I've requested Hitech transfer the Quitch skin to the orphaned list so I can adopt it.

I'm not sure if Hitech can do block transfers of an ex-skinner's body of work or whether he needs to transfer them skin by skin. If its the latter then it is not going to be practical for him to transfer hundreds of old skins over so best bet for now is to just PM if you want a specific skin moved across. So long as the original skinner's game account has been dormant for a year or two it should not be a problem.

Just a quick thought - Greebo can you ask HiTech to transfer all of Larry/TrueKill's skins into adoptable status when he does Quitch?   Based on Larry's latest post sounds like we can get the ball rolling for his skins too.

Yes, there are several of his skins I'd like to tackle. It would be much easier having the list updated.

Also, I'm starting a virtual museum of older skins.   If you think to take a screenshot of previous work before changing it maybe we can upload them.  I've saved the original diffuse BMPs just in case the skinner wants them someday.

I may start getting shots of them flying in the game instead of just the viewer, I haven't decided.

I have PM'd Hitech to ask what the situation is with block transfers of a skinner's body of work to orphaned status. I'll let you all know what he says, most likely in a new thread to avoid hijacking Vraciu's one any more.

No worries, bro.

Nice job Lyric!  I've read the story of his Dads B25 before.  The complete story of struggle to get the craft back to base.  Toad's Dad was a great Pilot.

All except the second one that was from another book.

All this talk of Quitch reminded me of a visit my Dad made to this BBS. He answered a few questions on the B-25 for folks. Some old names in that thread for sure; April 2000! It's short.

I want to say thank you to the guys over at http://www.506thfightergroup.org/ for putting their research online.   It was their website that inspired me to create this skin. 

I've been emailing one of the admins there and he couldn't be nicer.     

Sites like theirs are increasingly rare, which is unfortunate.    This history is worth preserving.    I'm glad they are doing it.    Give it a look sometime when you have a moment.

 :salute

Sadly the bulk of your text "Anything goes" is lying face up on the ground under the wing. Also looks as if the two words were painted in different colours.
Then the questions are did it have the pin up and text prior to wars end and on both sides?
