As Many of you know, Midway Scenario is Starting the First Saturday in November.

What a perfect opertunity to put your Art Skills to work making new Skins for the Planes for Midway.

If we can get a set of skins in the next couple weeks, There is a strong possibility that they would be used.

Im Wondering is there anyone or a couple guys that would like to take on the task????

(since the TBM is both sides, it would have to be a generic)

Grimm, what is the color scheme for allied? I'm working on a 3-color Hellcat right now, circa 1943.

Got any links to good websites for reference?

The Best I can do is The Midway SAC Files from the Scenario AirCraft Changer from AW.

This will have Bmp Skins of the midway set.

It might give some ideas.

Ill try to attach the Zip File, If it doesnt work, I can Email it you

(Didnt Work)

Ill attack the Wildcat, No Hellcats at Midway

Hollywood LIED!!!

hi Grimm,

u can count on me

correct me if m wrong
As i saw Zeke have only different colour strips/numbers on tail panitng depends from carrier.
We cannot use couple skins same time, so current is correct imho

Val same story

As i think we cant use diferent skins on TBM for US and JPN forces
And only TBM need reskinig for US
all used planes wes painted right to Midway Scenario.

Custom skin can be add only if each side download map witd 2 different skins array

Just something that occured to me. Might be a good idea to standardise the colour palet if your going to have lots of people working on aircraft for the same map.

Looking at my Trop G2 and Kweassa's Trop F4 the variation is quite large. Either looks good on it's own but if your going to have a bunch of reskinned aircraft flying round in the same area it would look good to have them all painted the same colours.

Just a thought.

Not this time around.

There were not enough there once we Scaled down the total plane set to include them in.
