A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian propeller skins

Description: With Walpurgisnacht almost upon us, fans of the fiction of H.P Lovecraft may appreciate these two skins. They won't make any sense to anyone who hasn't read HPL's weird tales.

Skins for James Hefner's Fairchild FC-2W2 (Byrd) on wheels and skis and for Jens B. Kristensen's Fokker F.VIIa.

In Lovecraft's novella "At The Mountains Of Madness" the Miskatonic University Antarctic Expedition of the Antarctic summer 1930-31 had a small fleet of five aircraft. Their type is not specified but the narrative seems to indicate that they were single engined. The places that they landed indicate that they much have been operated on skis. The Fairchild was first produced in the late 1920s and was operated on skis in the antarctic by the 1929-30 Byrd expedition, so it fits in rather will with the story. And it's easy to repaint. This skin is fiction about fiction, as there is no description of it in the story.

There was an airplane in H.P. Lovecraft's novella "The Shadow Out Of Time," the story of the Miskatonic University Australian Expedition of 1935. The story doesn't specify what type of plane or what colors and markings it wore. The type is not specified but the narrative seems to indicate that it was single engined. The F.VIIa was in service since 1925, so it's plausible that the university might have found a used one at a reasonable price.

Textures slightly modified by Mick from the models' original skins.
