HI Guys
I was asked the other day to do a graphic image of this aircraft's Joker emblem.
I believe the color's are possibly more accurate and so have done a skin for the game with the 1941 color scheme at that time.

Hi Matthew. I'm glad to see you're still in the skinning game. Nice skin!

I did a version of this skin a long while ago, for TF3 I think. The colours on my skin look all wrong in the present modded game, so I might update it soon, as I'm re-doing a few Hurricanes anyway.

Here it is with photos and a colour profile from an Osprey book, I believe.

Cheers, Setback.

Hi Mate8
Yeep I've been studying 3D max, still a long way to go, but I haven't done too many skins as I've also been recovering from an operation.
I'll still be slow in skinning as I really want to get into the game modelling side to help develop new aircraft it's so hard to do though.
I did study the Joker photo a lot and decided that they where the best color interpolation I could come up with.
Unless someone can do a colorized photo I'm sticking with the blue because he played in the sky not yellow.

Hi Guys
Here is
Hawker Hurricane MkIIb SAAF 40Sqn flown by Jack Orpen HL734 with Gremlin Bobby Burst North Africa 1942-43
From the photo's it's hard to work out the underside camouflage so I settled on Sky blue and the background color of the gremlin I have done in red and blue again can't be 100% from the photos.
Any additional information would be great.

Some fantastic photo's from the pilots who flew these aircraft here: http://saafww2pilots.yolasite.com/jack-orpen.php

Hi Guys
Another:
Hawker Hurricane MkI Trop SAAF 3Sqn B East Africa 1941
When you look at this rather dark photo you can see a No 5 on the tail.
Most of the aircraft where 277-289 I don't know for sure what the code is but I believe it to be 275 as the 5 is on the tail could be 285 but the photo looks like a 7. Hate to make a guess like this since they are a historical representation.
If anyone knows more please email me via my site!
