325th FG "Checkertails" over North Africa - Part 2. Fifteen paintschemes to download. (link in first post)

May 27

Having always been a follower of all things "Checkertail Clan", it was great to see the Kittyhawk template become available for Cliffs of Dover.

The first thing to say is that Cliffs of Dover does not yet have the correct model of P-40 for the Checkertail era, but there is no timeline for one coming to the Sim, so I decided to make a selection of 325th FG skins for the game, so at least the Checkertails can fly over the Mediterranean, should any mission builders wish to take them to the skies. I did revisit "Lone Tiger" and have updated the skin so it is historically accurate now, so just replace if it asks you to.

I only do this for fun, so if you see a small issue...feel free to edit it yourself

With that said, here is the second (and probably final) batch of skins, at least for now. Hope you enjoy them, cheers, Neil "Mysticpuma" Pugh.
