Well, the A7M and the B7A1 are already in the stock game (aircraft # 007 and 023, respectively), the F7F and F8F are in the CHS, and Cobra's already done the G8N (it's a couple of pages back on this thread). It's in Cobra's "What if's Vol.2" pack, which Spooky has.

Would someone be able to take Subchaser's CHS F7F Tigercat pictured below:

and give it a night background like the one pictured here?

I love Subchaser's images and would love to have this one for my F7F-2N Tigercat night fighter. Please let me know if you need me to reduce the size to 96 dpi. I left it at 150 dpi thinking it might help any artists out there to convert them.

Thanks for any help! [:)]

night fighter conversion
Hi garry unfortunatly there are no unfilled night backdrops in SB's air panel and
there are to many shade variables to clean up the backdrop after tacking out an existing plane - here are two views

1 an attempt to keep original backdrop
2 a new night backdrop

Here's another request for you Big B, when you get a chance. It's a coast defense ship built by Japan for the Siamese navy, taken over by the Japanese during the war. I don't think it saw any action with the Japanese but it might make for an interesting "what if" shore bombardment ship with 2 x 2 8in guns. At 76 meters its about the same size as a US Asheville class PG (which is 73 meters long) only with a much bigger punch.

Many thanks!

Gary

A 76 meter ship with 4 8-inchers? Damn, that would have been interesting to be onboard when they were all firing...[:D]

One more request for Big B. The French CL Lamotte Picquet. Interned in Siagon during the war, I'm going to put her in Australia instead as a member of the Free French navy. Unfortunately all I have is a somewhat sketchy line drawing for a profile.

Thankyou!

One more a/c art request if the Elf would be willing and able to tackle it. I'm trying to incorporate the plane tops for the newly added planes below into both the Aptop and Aptop_alpha .bmp files. I tried it myself and finaly gave up when I couldn't get them aligned correctly for the air combat screens. [:(] I'm wondering if the Elf might be able to simply add the six new planes pictured below to the stock plane top files. I've crossed out the planes that don't apply, leaving only the newly added ones, the Singapore III (slot 105), F7F-2N (slot 235), Lancaster (slot 237), Seafire III/XV (slot 241), F7F (slot 242), and F8F (slot 244).


Many thanks for any help. [:)]

Yes, this is for the mod I'm working on. Your new stock plane tops look great! May I use them in my mod? If so, would it be too much trouble to incorporate the six plane tops mentioned above into it? Yourself, Big B, CobraAus, Subchaser and Sarge (as soon as he gets some of his plane sides done which I'm interested in) will be given honorable mention in the credits.
