Spitfire MkXIVe Skin Request

[Weegie]

Perhaps purely fictional but I love the PRU skins for the Spitfire and nothing seems to have exist for the XIVe that I've seen in either Blue or Pink

 

As I know nothing about making skins, I also wondered why the XIVe seems unloved, any particular reason or is it simply because it's a collector aircraft and therefore not so many have purchased it?

[OrLoK]

I'll buy it tomorrow and will knock one up for you. gimmie a couple of days, the old arthritis is playing up!

I just bought this, so I'll check those out too!

@E69_julian57 Thanks so much for posting to let me know, I've now got the skins installed and looking forward to testing them later today

 

Don't mean to seem ungrateful but I'd really like to have a PRU blue or pink skin, or even better both, as opposed to the more ubiquitous RAF camo.

 

@OrLoK if you do make any PRU skins I'd love to obtain a copy, if you take the time and trouble

 

It's very much appreciated to both of you for taking the time to reply to my request, especially as I'd more or less given up on recieving any replies

I've got them anyway and I'm grateful to you @OrLoK

 

I'll take a look later tonight and also check on any updates you make, when you can find the time.

 

Many thanks for taking the trouble

 

EDIT

 

Just had a look at it in the preview, very cool, nice shade of blue too, looks great, nice late Christmas present.

 

Whatever changes you make will be more icing on the cake as I'm a happy bunny

still quick n dirty but should do you for now!

[Weegie]

Super stuff @OrLoK

 

Computer's doing a full back up right now so I won't be able to start the game until tonight, but looking forward to trying them out

 

Cheers

@OrLoK just managed to take a look at the 2 new skins you posted up

 

Look amazing, these are great, what I was hoping to get for a long time, really pleased with them

 

Should you improve them that would be nice, but any other touches would just be more icing on the cake.

 

The colours and shades are a good compromise, I've seen colours way overdone in the past, especially the pink but the whitesh/pink shade you chose is a really nice and I love the blue too (but I told you that already)

 

Big Thumbs up and thanks ? ?
