Hello everyone I'm just putting the final touches on this one, but ran into a dilema that has always aroused my curiosity...perhaps other skinners as well; And that is..what do our sim pilots want in a skin pack? In this case, I was thinking about a squad pack with different numbers, and perhaps one marked but un-numbered version. But I think there are some who also prefer no markings at all, but not sure why...could it be for using an "in-game" marking program? I don't use these myself, but I understand there are some who do. Anyway, I'm just looking for a little input here, before I finalize and upload to Flying Legends. Perhaps only one numbered version with an un-numbered is the way to go? I don't want to get too carried away though, as to keep file sizes to a manageable level. Please share what you think, perhaps this will give some fellow skinners a little insight as well. BTW, any comments on the WIP are welcome. Thanks

Personally I would do a squad pack and include one with national markings and one blank(for those who use il2 Mat)
Very nice skin by the way, although the panel lines appear a little to visible

I agree with Kristorf; squadron pack, one without numbers, and one blank.

I concur with Kris on all accounts. But mostly on the panel lines. May I suggest shading the panels sightly, allowing them to define their boundaries and use the panel lines to accentuate.

Just my 1 cent.

Thanks for the constructive input everyone Sounds like a squad pack, including one marked but un-numbered version, and a blank, are the way to go. And by "blank", I assume this means all markings (paint) except national insignia and numbers? I'm back to drawing board now, to see what I can do about those panels...I'm glad I got some ideas there, 'cause metal is really one of those "eye of the beholder" things. Any other ideas while I'm working? Thanks again
