Thanks for those comments.
I would be very happy to have it accepted as a new default skin... and thanks for proposing it (I will probalby quote you on that).

I'll try and redo the colours on a few other aircraft, and maybe then suggest them as default. I'm not sure if anyone is working on changing the in-game lighting again for TF5. That could possibly make pointless any redoing of the default skins. I'll ask about these things before too long.
But just for now it would be good to change a few skin colours so that they at least look good for a while, in TF4.
I'm also occupied with doing new skins for TF5, so any other work (such as changing my own earlier skins, or redoing default skins) will have to take second place.
thanks,
Cheers, Setback
