In other threads, I've mentioned some new concepts I want to try out, so expect several different CR42 releases in the next few months. By late spring, I should be done and start work on the Gloster Gladiator.

Excellent.

Nearly done with the most time consuming parts of the skins - the fuselage and cowling. Also got started on a selection of more accurate Italian bombs - 50kg shown here. Now that I know the mapping works OK, I'll get it flying ingame pretty soon.

Looked through my folders but could only find two more shots - see below. Both show new skins for your BE2 in development. Good luck with your presentation - knock their socks off!

I don't have time to completely rework the Junkers J1, but I could knock out two Maxim AA guns already pointing downward at 45 degrees. But.....would this solve your problem?

Will these help?

Impressive work. Natural metal finish is extremely difficult to simulate well, but you've done it.

Yep, both camo schemes will eventually be released. The overall dark olive green scheme is faster/easier to make, so I'm finishing it first so testors have something to play with while I finish the 3-color scheme.

Another example of how different bits and pieces from a graphics pack could be pasted onto the baseline camo to make new skins. EDIT: the last know aerial combat for the CR42. On 8 February 1945, ten Luftwaffe CR.42LWs of Stab and 2. Staffel' of Nachtschlachtgruppe 7, took off from their base in Agram-Gorica, Croatia, bound to strafe the airfield of Grabovica, used by partisan forces. But at the last moment they were sent to attack partisans northwest of Sisak. They were attacked by P-38 Lightnings of the 14th Fighter Group. The American fighters shot down three Fiat biplanes, but two P-38s did not return to base. One of them was claimed by a German pilot but not confirmed. Not bad for an "obsolete" biplane.

That is exactly what I propose for the graphics pack. A selection of insignia and markings for guys with basic skills to paste onto the baseline artwork. For guys with more advanced skills, there will also be a selection of color swatches to make new markings and camo.
