jarink,

They look great! Anyway you can re-post these without the Chevron and Texaco gasoline logos?

Thanks

Nice skins! However, if you have a penchant for the P-47s of the 65th FS, better have a look at the real ones, here:

http://www.warwingsart.com/12thAirForce/65thplanes.html

There are four pages of magnificent photographs, and a special on about the plane of the pilot whose the site is devoted:

and not forget this...

Happy skinning!

P.S. as a sidenote, the yellow wings bands often had not the black piping.

All the best

Thanks for the links, veltro!

I made them to match the present-day markings, but had planned on making historical versions, too. I had started on the Hun Hunter a couple weeks ago after someone here had trouble finding that skin. I found one, but thought I might be able to do better. While looking for pics, I found some of the Wicked Wabbit. The pic of them taking off in formation clinched me doing both. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Monguse, they're now uploaded as V2 of the pack on the same page!
