very nice!/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif : /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif

Almost exact even down to hand spray "176". Superb work!

Really nice HD! But you left out the white(?) stripe behind the number 6 in 176. Minor detail, but still... /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif Oh, and the rudder trim tabs aren't red in the original picture... /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.gif

Very impressive HD, more LW skins of this calibre might lure me away from my P-39 /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif

Dude, I had to go back and look, how in the hell did I miss that?!?! The trim tabs aren't a big deal, but you are right, I need to fix that white stripe! Thanks!

My wife said something very similar:

"Who made that for you?"

I did!

"Did you just cut and paste it?"

NO! I painted it with Photoshop 7!

(skeptical look) "Uh huh....."

Heavy, why not try sticking that on my template at IL-2 Skins, it has all the weathering and stuff included, thats an awesome paintsceme, would like to see if my template screws it up, or does good things for it.

Super Job HD-

Not sure what u mean Uhclem,

I used Snorri's template already, who is widely thought to be the "gold standard" of IL-2 template creators. What would putting it on your template change? I'm not too big into the weathering some guys get all whacko over /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif My goal was to make it look like the artwork, which as you can see, is not weathered.
