I'll be doing the XP-50 Skyrocket as well, along with the XP-65 Tigercat.

How many more of these do you have on your plate? Because before I left for Ohio for four days; I had started a Unified Art Mod to incorporate our artwork into a single coherent mod; and at the rate you keep adding new things.....

ryan will you be making your unified art mod as a single file or as a bundle of files... will you include the camo changes for the base files with time?

any chance of getting together a team for modding the stats?

I have been tooling with the idea of 3 unified post of "New planes", "New ships" and "New devices/LCUs" for a while...With an unified art mod, I will do it.

Ryan,
As far as a Unified Art Mod goes, I would say go ahead and do it now. Most of the stuff that I still have on my list is either HIGHLY speculative stuff that most players wouldn't be interested in, such as:

P2V Neptune
P4M Mercator
Avro York

I've also got a ton of stuff on the list for the Second Sino-Japanese War and even earlier stuff that is technically beyond the scope of the game (much earlier). So those types probably wouldn't pertain to a unified art mod anyway.

I'm looking for some British and American aircraft in Free French livery. No hurry, just when you get around to it:

Spitfire V and VIII in AdA markings.
PBY-5 in Aeronavale markings(to replace Loire 130s).
F4F-4 Wildcat also in Aeronavale markings.
Kingfisher in Aeronavale markings.
P-40E in AdA markings.

I've got a Spit V somewhere in my art folders, a Vc with vokes filter in green/brown camo.

A Frenchist one?

A Frenchist one?

oui

Termy,
I've added the Frenchies to the list, with the exception of the Spit V. If you desire another after Dixie provides his, just let me know.

PM it to me, if you'd be ever so good.

Grumman P-65 Tigercat:

What-if markings of 464th Fighter Squadron, 1945:

I got special permission from the original profile author to implement this in the game.

I give you people....

North American Aviation Model NA-133: Navalized P-51H Mustang!

The original design had wing-tip fuel tanks like the P-80; but the USN was very skeptical on those; so any production model would have dispensed with them.

Amazing job Ryan

 BTW: How the Axis Mod goes ?

CA-11 (redone by me) and CA-15 Kangaroo.
