MM/TMF Skins

[ShrikeHawk 384]

I've made some new skins for MM/TMF Corsairs. Last time uploaded I noticed there are special rules for posting mode to their work. So how/where do you contact them to ask permission to post updates?

Anyway. Here are some screenies of the new skins.

Dave is my usual goto for anything TMF permission wise.

since I've done more work on our Corsair than anyone, I'd so go for it

 

btw, the VF-84 (Bunker Hill "arrow") has already been done for the -1D, and should be in the uploaded package here.

 

vF-17 has also been done, both for the -1A and Birdcage

 

the VBF-84 (Shangra-la "lightning bolt") is also availabe, in -1C

So does that mean I have the MM/TMF's blessing?

 

And I hope you don't mind my redoing the same squadrons. Those are my favorites, it so happens. The number decals are yours I believe. I just wanted a darker color palette.

the ones as released are supposed to have the "worn, not really maintained look" so common on all USN aircraft of the time (and the orignal skins were by Sundowner, with -very- little help by me <grin>

That is my actual only objecrtion == too clean and not weathered enough. 

But it you want to, you've got my permission!

 

other than that, perhaps some of the other units could be done?? The bitch is, running down the individual carrier's air groups, finding out with squadron used the Corsairs (and and which sub-variant) and then do up the "G" system marking.

 

(interesting to note on the chard below, the "single with dot" for HORNET is not listed...)

Sundowner? Yipes. His skins are legendary. I'd best bring my A-game to do them justice.

 

Luckily, in my skins I use a bazillion different layers. So adding G-System markings is pretty easy. Weathering was already there, just subdued. I thought folks might complain about too much of it. Here's some shots of an Essex Corsair with the weathering turned up. Better? A Franklin one is also in the works.

might want to double check ALL the TMF Corsairs, and the skins I've done --- VBF-83 (Essess) is one of them

 

but it do look a bit better
