An unusual request in the sense that it is time sensitive.

As many of you know , we lost a long time community member a short time ago , FA_Monguse , who brought us
a passion for history , many skins , contributed to the P-38 Droopsnoot , and was largely responsible for the B24D that is in the 4.13 game to name a few contributions. In addition he was an amateur historian , and to that end worked with Mystic Puma to produce a video documentary on the 325th Checkertails Fighter Group.
Beyond that he was a good fellow , and fun to fly with.

Some of us are putting together a Memorial Flight for Monguse , for (very) early in the new year.
We have a small snag. We are flying the Memorial in 4.13 to showcase his B-24D , and were hoping to include a flight of P40Ms sporting historical paintschemes for the 325th Checkertails. While Monguse did many , many skins for Checkertail P-40s , they were all for the pre-4.13 model.

If any skinner out there has any historical Checkertail skins for the new P-40M in 4.13 and would allow us to use them for the Monguse Memorial flight they would be much appreciated.
Any other historical skins for the 4.13 P40M may be considered if we can't collect any Checkertails.

Thanks for your consideration.

Please contact me if you can help us out.

hi Kop'

Sorry to hear about our IL2 community colleague

Are you looking SPECIFICALLY for the P-40? (new one) or P-51 and P-47's as well?
And the ETO dark green or Mediterranean 'desert' scheme?

cheers,

We are good for other aircraft.
We just need some skins for the 4.13 new P40M.

10-4.

how many distinct ones - or just generic? (I believe the US 'country' selection also permits individual nose art selecins?)

hey Kopfdorfer,

here are a bunch of 325th sqn from MTO. I found some on IL2 FreeModding, and made some of my own using one of those as base.
I could only find a few images of actual 325 sq in colour/ nose art... hope they help with oyur memorial flight!
(please post the video or PM if you can.)
cheers

Thank You xAx ,

                        Very , very much appreciated.
                        Downloaded and will run them past the Big Cheese.
                       
                        This community is fantastic.

                        PS , After examination , these skins are mapped for the old P40M and sadly will not work for our application.

LOL...ugh, i had actually started on a DIFFERENT P-40 template 'shape"...but realized was NOT the 'M'...
do you have the Template/ default skin for the one you mean - shouldn't be too much for me to swap the details to that 'style' K


xAx

[xxxautoxxx]

can you indicate which skin 'style' is the one you gents are after Kop'?

[Kopfdorfer]

Hi xAx ,

As long as what is available is historically based , I am good with it.
I like both the OD + Checkertail and the Desert Camo + Checkertail.
I guess if I was asking for the moon , I'd ask for a couple of historical
examples of each style with historical aircraft markings, and one generic of each.

Personally I particularly like this scheme :


I also love this image - too bad its B&W (for our purposes- I love B&W) , as it shows a flight with mixed paintschemes :


You are the artist , and if you are willing to put in your time , my parameters are wide - historical based.

Any effort will be appreciated.

I can't promise that the organizers will choose your skins to use in the Memorial -
I will promise that I will happily fly them myself for a long time.

It's up to you if you wish to put in the work under those conditions.

I really appreciate your interest.

Sorry, i meant which P-40 model/skin is the one (of the 4 examples) that will fit the model you are flying (different 'skin' arrgngments)

Hi xAx ,
