Title: Takashige Egusa's D3A1
Post by: WWII44 on September 29, 2015, 01:05:58 AM

Is it possible some one could make a skin of Commander Egusa's D3A1?

I have the green one (or something much like it) in this pack: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads2&file=details&id=7079

As for the top, I can do it.  Am also going to do that Kate you requested, do you have any other pics? (besides models and profiles...)

I have the Tora Tora Tora pack but the collors are way too bright or way to dark(for the weathered skins) and they don't carry Egusa's Tail code(BI-231). And as for the Kate, are you talking about the bare metal one(a while back I requested a skin of Joichi Tomonaga's B5N)?

I did the Kate and the light gray Val, they should be up at M4T sometime soon.  Don't really feel like doing the green Val, as that's territory I've already covered.

I have the base for Egusa's green D3A, is it possible some one could add the stripes on it(the tail fins could use some cleaning up too)?

The flames on that plane are reminiscent of those on the muscle cars a certain of teen age boy likes.

Have had rotten luck getting the diagonal stripes to line up on the fusalage.
