CombatACE - Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - "Masquerade"

[The Big Gimper]

Folks:

Over at the What If Forum there is a very active thread based on CombatACE - Strike Fighters 2 material called " Spinners Strike Fighters". The owner/contributor is called "Spinners". DOH!! RW name is Alf Williams. He and others do a technique called "Masquerade". A bit of research led me to finding these images can be accessed outside of What If forum.

To quote the original thread description for the Masquerade technique:

Anyway, this thread is for 'what if's' that use an aircraft to pretend to be an entirely different aircraft and probably from a different nation. This isn't just decals added to an F-14 to make an RAF Tomcat (guilty as charged!) but something entirely different like my Aero L.23 that is a Super Mystere masquerading as a fictional Cold War Czech fighter.

Anyways to get back to the original point, Spinners and other Masquerade contributor's works are posted here: Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum.

Recent Example: Blackburn Boudicca Mk.IIC - No.26 Squadron, Royal Air Force, 1941 (aka IL-2M)

I used to visit the what-if forums, but for some reason I ve been unable to access the site for a couple of months now. It's a bummer because I've had a lot of inspiration from that site.

Spinner's always had good screen captures of his work at WhatIfModelers.  Asked him a long time ago if he would join us here but he declined the offer, stating he had too many other forums to visit so that was the last I saw of him.

Good to see he is sharing his work where it can be seen and enjoyed outside of whatifmodelers.
