Sky, your checkerboards are better than the ones I've done. So, I'll steal them and give credit in the squadrons read.me.

Ok now, I started with the yellow/black checkerboard pattern Skylark slaved over in the far North and after a few hours of tinkering expanded the pattern to cover the 3 forms seen on the 350th Mustangs. And then put the squadron into its' final form. Finally, I could have saved my self a whole lotta time if I have found Sky's "Bettey E" before I started the final revamping but, such is life. A big thank you to David "Skylark" Philips for his original pattern work.










The 8-bit version is next.

Nice ponies, Mike - I like the aluminum panel effects
What about a try with shiny metal?
The P-51s are so beautiful they need a special frame - IŽd prefer the circle of a Revi C12D...

Hey, it only stands to reason.

Canadians are the world's expert on all things square.






















Sorry David, couldn't resist.

Hi Ray,
You might be right...after all, I think we're also responsible for 'Sponge Bob' too...

Hi Mike,
Glad I could help out.
You may not be aware of this but I started my hobby of skinning as a 'rivet counter' for other skinners
some years ago. At that time, I thought, if I'm coming to criticize the work of others, I'd damn well better
start turning out my own skins (sort of a 'money were your month is' moment) and so it began.
My first skin was fictitious which I named 'Skylark II' (boy, what an ego) the second was more historic
'Little Duckfoot' of the 357th.FG. Both were Mustangs. (somethings never change).
I think they're both still available at 'Tally-Ho' and so is a more recent HiRes version of 'Little Duckfoot'.
I'm still skinning, I just haven't been able to post them on 'Tally-Ho' lately but that's another story.
This also started to rekindle my interests in researching WW2 aircraft to a point were I now have
a rather large home library of some.
I mention this to add some credence to what I'm about to write next...
In one of my reference books it is mentioned that the 350th.FS. distinguished themselves from the
other 353th.FG. squadrons by outlining, in yellow, their squadron and aircraft codes.
(I know ... I'm a smart ass but a well meaning one).

Keep up the good work Mike...you seem to be our only skinner at the moment

Cheers mates and Merry Christmas to you both

David

Sky,

I have photos and illustrations that show the yellow outlines on some and not on others. I think that the yellow codes are from 1945. So, they should e good either way.

P.S. what is the blockage for send your skin work to Sandy?
