Sorry Cuda, the engineers have stated any more paint on the underside will cause excessive drag and adversely affect the performance of the plane. I've often thought about putting the TX on the underside and there was a time back in the day when we had it there, but when we added the outer glow to create the white border it somehow got dropped. Since that was many moons ago, it just sort of stuck. I suppose we could add something there but I am fine with it the way it is. Besides, when people come in for the BnZ, they always come in from above now to see the TX, which gives us a chance to see them coming. You see, the advantage to outrageously cool looking top skins and so so bottom skins is just that...the bandit will say to himself "Jeez I wanna shoot this guy down, but damn the skin looks so nice I just have to see it one more time" and therein lies the trap. Or something like that. TX-ZenBlack 6TX Squadron CO

Ok. . . I just had to take a quick IL-2 spin. . .the 262 skin was awesome! And it carried me to 11 kills in a sortie!!!!!! what a killer combo, a killer  machine and a killer skin. . .not sure about this, but i think that the highly metalophillic bonds in that new Racoon Works paint shaved maybe 50% off of the weight of that paint, as the Schwalbe was turning like an african swallow today.S!TX-EcoDragon
