(Would the IL2 engine accept TWO skins for one plane -one for left side and one for right side?)
And while we are at it - please don't dual use parts of the skin - e. g. the wheel covers of the P-40 use parts of the lower wing - impossible to create one of the most iconic P-40:

Hi MajorFailure,

as Caspar said the new P-40 has a full new mapping (new model actually), and there are very few mirrored parts, even less than for other best mapped aircrafts, normally. It is designed to allow all famous patterns of that aircraft (Kiwis, Aussies, Americans, Russians and so on).
As for the P-38, Caspar said the reason, and let's admit it is also a huge piece of work regarding other wips...

Cheers !

Macwan.

We plan an earlier version of the P38, including cockpit.

Looks like we have

Really looking forward to the new Hawk 87s.

I will mourn the loss of so many skins I have for the current late Hawks, but that is progress.

I am with you friend, the Hawk series are my all time favorite aircraft since I was a boy. My very first (of many) plastic model was of the Hawk 75 in French colors. The new models for the P-40's are fantastic, and so much more realistic then the older ones. I fly the P-40 more then anything else in IL2, so this is an update that is going to effect me greatly. Can't wait to match up the updated P-40s against Oscars and Nicks over PNG. 49th FG for life!!! lmao

I've been checking the TD page often,... for the last weeks. When I loaded the page tonight, ,this was top post, my heart raced when I saw a new top post, with 4.12 in title. Then realized that it was this post, not the release.
