Thanks for this.

I'd like to get all the late-war French ships that made it to the Pacific. Algerie, Bearn, one or two other CAs, plus merchants and some more of classes already in stock.

Glad you may be able to use these!

Did Algerie make it to the Pacific, though? I thought IRL she was scuttled to prevent her from falling into German hands?

Yep Sorry

I'm sure you are right. I recall seeing a list of Free French ships and there were a couple of CAs. Probably not Algerie though.

Memory fails (yet again), I'll see if I can find the data.

Added CVL (I guess it woudl be a CVL and not a CV) Bearn to the French pack. Two versions a 1941 and a 1945. I flipped the picture around so the Island is actually on the other side from where it shows in the drawing.

Very NICE!

Got em. Thanks Gary.

bump...

Gary, your PM box is full. I have tried to request the Alt_Naval info but the message can't be delivered.

I wanted to dredge this up to see if there is any more work you have done Gary.

Actually I have been working on some German plane sides for my mod. Not sure if they would be very useful to anyone else except maybe Dali. Here's a preview. This pic is in GIF format, if you want the planes for anything just save as a BMP file and cut and paste.

That is some nice work Gary.

+1 - looking good!

Do you accept requests? I could use plane sides and tops of the Ar 196 (for AMC Thor and Michel).

Hi LST,

I haven't had a chance yet to do tops for my latest planes but I do have some older planes with tops, including the Ar 196. The Alpha tops leave a little bit to be desired but they work. The file is GIF format, all you need to do is save as BMP and then cut and paste.

Woops, the GIF version didn't come out well for this one, too many colors. Here's a pic of the Ar 196 specifically:





Again, you can save this as BMP, then cut and paste.

Awesome - thanks Gary! I'll put your name into the mod credits[&o]

Do you accept requests?

I've sort of been in an artistic mood lately so if anyone has any requests I'll be happy to accommodate if I can.
