My new P-40s have arrived!

[mariereid]

Boy, am I happy! I would never ask for a favour like this, but when I was offered it, I sure was not going to turn it down! I know how busy you are PomBee, so many, many thank yous for doing this. Here's some pics of my Badass and Merchant. Also a pic of another sassy gal, Stinger. Thanks Paul, I'll try not to get them scratched up! :salute::ernae:

[PomBee]

Your welcome, Buddy. Use them well, and good hunting.

Very nice Rick!

[Pips]

Beautiful P-40's. Such an underated aeroplane.

[mariereid]

Yes Alpha; 111 squadron. I am going to try to learn the art of "skinning". When (if) I do, I will paint a few for ya. You may not want my first attempts! The planes I received were not only painted, but tweaked to the nines!:ernae:

[alpha_1]

Don't let fear and common sense slow ya down, Boy.......jump right in! Glad you like your new planes.

Cheers!

[mariereid]

The fear of having no common sense has always held me back! :salute:

[alpha_1]

Yer a funny man!

[dvslats]

Hey Guys, So are these available for D/L? I sure would like to see these puppies on my monitor.
I've checked around but did not see them anywhere...

Thanks, Dv

[PomBee]

Hi Dv,

I did these skins for Rick and his wife, Marie, and have personalised them. Although they are based on a 111 Sqn aircraft, these are actually ficticious. I could do a skin for the original aircraft, and upload it if folk are interested.

Cheers,

PomBee.:ernae:

Could sure use some Canadian skins, PB......thanks for the offer!

[PomBee]

No problem, Alpha. I'll get onto it. :salute::salute::salute:

As I'm moving across the Atlantic very soon, I've decided to try to do more RCAF/RCN skins, so your wish could very well be my command!!

[mariereid]

Oh, oh; I see I may have opened the flood gates! We Canucks love to see and fly Canadian CFS2 planes. Now that you are one of us, It's your duty to give us one of your masterpieces, now and then. Maybe Alpha1, Dirtman, and myself (I'll supervise) can shovel your snow, while you create more Canadian beauties? CANADIAN BEAUTY, I claim that name! Welcome to Canada, eh.:salute::ernae:

PomBee, we know ya got lots of work to do over at the Paint Shop, so we'll go easy on ya!

[PomBee]

Welcome to Canada, eh.:salute::ernae:

PomBee, we know ya got lots of work to do over at the Paint Shop, so we'll go easy on ya!

Thanks for that, Rick.

I'd better get some skins done for the Paintshop. The SAAF Mohawk skins are nearly ready.

PomBee.:salute:

[alpha_1]

Man, this is just terrific! I can't wait! It's not just that I'm Canadian, PB but I'm from out west, and we can't have a down easterner jumpin' the gun here!........(Good one Alpha!!)

Cheers!

Well that would explain the names under the canopies. :mixedsmi:

Something like these would be nice for the Aleutians. I can't say that I've ever seen these markings done before. They sure look sweet.

[PomBee]

Hi Dave,

The original skin is now done. I'm just tweaking the .dp, then I'll upload it (probably to the Paintshop). I'll try to get it done by the end of tomorrow.

Cheers,

Paul.:salute:

[alpha_1]

I was thinking along the same lines, DV......has anybody who knows how to do scenery given the Aleutians some thought? There IS some rudimentary stuff around but it's verrrry basic by today's standards.

I sense an Aleutians campaign coming.......(uh...maybe it's just what I'm smokin'?)

Cheers!

[mariereid]

I'm Hauling my boys out of that forsaken, frozen, foggy, hole! Shipping the whole outfit down south!

Keeping your eye on the Paint Shop?:salute::ernae:
