Gauging interest on creating a new VFA-106 livery?

[=DROOPY=]

Good afternoon all,

Would any of you have any interest in creating a specific, highly detailed livery for me/others?

I have photos of a particular F/A-18C (BuNo 164276/Modex 315) from VFA-106 that, due to its historical significance (to me anyway), I and possibly many others, would like to have it in my livery collection.

The backstory is, the pilot was ferrying this jet back to NAS Oceana, and upon it's arrival, it would be permanently removed from flying status with VFA-106. Also of note, is that mere weeks after taking those photos, VFA-106 was completely out of the Legacy Hornet business, and shifted their syllabus and operations to operating the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet exclusively.

Unfortunately,I have absolutely zero experience creating DCS skins, and very little spare time, but in my uneducated opinion, I don't believe that it would be a difficult task, especially for someone with experience. I could be mistaken, but I believe that the only thing(s) that would need to be altered, are the crew names, modex, and other small details. I can provide you with plenty of reference photos in high resolution.

​​​​​​I cannot offer you financial compensation, but I'm willing to provide you a printed image of the aircraft (up to $30 value) suitable for framing and free of charge. Shipping it to you would be also free if you reside in the continental United States.

 

​​​​​​Are you interested?
