So, first mission with Captain Smith of 151 Squadron. Jaunty gets an early pasting, then Tangmere gets a shufty pencil. 151 is slated to patrol over Jaunty in the afternoon...but then of course the Jerrys decide to send in a welcome party which we promptly take off into.

Dozens of Stukas and 109s. I take an quick burst at a Stuka and then get two 109s on my tail which I cannot shake. Engine damaged, I turn as tight as I can but eventually one of them takes my wing off. Bail out but chute does not open. One Hurricane of 151 Squadron survives this assault.

Career ends. :damn:

Ouch, that's a quik end

Well, I'm lucky to have survived 4 sorties so far and confirmed 3 Aircaft and 2 claims.

I've just spent the last couple of hours giving the RAF's 617 Sqn an A10, I'm very pleased with the result but there is always something else to do!

This was my first ever skin! Nice and simple, but should've used a cleaner starting point. :D

Here's to many more :()1:

Wasn't there a template somewhere? The ferret should recall. :hmmm:

^ I used existing skins as a base when I last skinned something.

Though, I found this now that I checked:

http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php...-10c-template/

Probably, I recall seeing a blank one after I'd finished - didn't look closely before I was just impacient, so I doctored the 81st Spandahlem. :doh::damn:

Yeah, there is a blank grey skin, but template is a PSD file that has all the rivets, panels etc. etc. on separate layers, so you can paint "under" them so to keep all the details you couldn't otherwise.

Thank you! I'll play around again tonight with that one if Arc's still stuck in The Witcher 2.

Any requests anybody? :sunny:

Knock yourself out :haha:

In all seriousness though, one of the 91st TFS in Euro camo with the hog face on the front please. Just how I remember them. :yeah:

Like this one? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ight_1987.JPEG

I'm sure there's something very similar to that already, just needs the Woodbridge markings. I'll have to dig out all my old airshow pics to have a better look - these t'interweb ones from google aren't so great.

Not in a rush, right? :DL

That's the bugger but with the warthog face. :yeah:

No rush at all...I don't even have the game at the moment! :har:

Phew, saves me embarrassing myself, just need to change the base code to WR from EL, change the fin-flash and maybe dumb-down the TAC badge. Thank you Tom Weiss :yeah:

:rock::rock: Looks awesome :D Thank you :yeah:

Alrighty then, work in progress. All I've done so far is removed any previous badges, code and fin flashes and replace the base code and flashes.

About the flashes, firstly don't look too close as the inside and outside on the fins aren't aligned, secondly I've come to realise that the originals never had the flash in the inside of the fin! :damn: I also need to extend the flash further so it encompasses the rudder itself - I just don't know which bit that is at the moment, it's not straightforward!

Finally, for tonight, added a name. An RAF pilot on an exchange tour.

Needs polishing, and the requested toothy mouth :D

A good landing...well...aside from the nosing over due to excessive braking...but considering my number two engine was dead after catching fire after take-off, and my port undercarriage was broken which meant my number one engine was smashed into the ground on landing...I think it was quite good.
