I have some requests from my all-time favorite movie "Fortress". We already have a great Lucky Lass skin. I have some other requests

1- New version of the skin, as the cowlings are painted wrong;

How they should be: http://stagevu.com/img/thumbnail/iszhentjdqoibig.jpg
It's a small fix, but means the world to me.

2- Skin for the P-40s. They are P-40Ns from the 325th Fighter Group. In the movie they helped the Lucky Lass fight against 5 Bf-109Es when the bomber got lost (Pilot got sick, there was dense cloud cover and the co-pilot didn't fly by instruments. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_LfFSRyN-Hg/UVN4v3-htHI/AAAAAAAAAEE/JXvxDrFNies/s1600/325fighter+group+checher+tail+P40.jpg

3- Some squadron generics. The squadron in the movie was the 44th Bombardment Wing (Heavy), although all that is needed is the Lucky Lass skin without the tail number and noseart.

Thank you and please consider it.

The horrible mapping on the B-17 cowlings makes it virtually impossible to paint them properly. I tried for over a week several years ago before giving up.

This isn't the best illustration, but it shows how part of the cowling (the section with the solid horizontal blue line) is actually mapped backwards. As can be seen from the varying distance between the vertical lines, parts are stretched unevenly as well. Notice there's also a small white slice right above it which lies somewhere further to the right on the skin.


Here's the view of the mapping from the front.


There's additional mapping problems (semi-random arrangement, stretching) on the nacelles, too.

Were any of these problems solved by the Cowling Fix mod for 4.12.2? Also, I've realized there already is a 325th FG pack. Guess just didn't know what it was called...

... this, and many other cowlings, was fixed a long time ago by Jeronimo ...

So can the cowling paint job be done?

Can someone do the squadron generics then? It's just the same as the Lucky Lass skin without the tail number and the noseart...
