"Gatchaman" is a popular seventies anime show about five young
ninjas in bird suits who fight the Galactor Syndicate, a terrorist
organization which makes constant and highly creative attempts to
take over the world. It was translated/hacked a number of times,
as "Battle of the Planets", "G-Force" and "Eagle Riders". When not 
suited up for battle, they wear T-shirts with their number on it.

Anyone can wear a numbered shirt, so here are all five outfits
of the first season, plus a sixth skin for fan-invented sixth 
members, for the male fit, fat and skinny body, in three skin
tones.

These meshes are a heavily torqued combination of the B005 and 
B002 meshes. The UV map is the same for each mesh, so one skin will
fit on all three meshes, but due to the Sims naming conventions,
each mesh needs its own, properly named skin. To keep the file
as small as possible, I've included only one copy of each skin,
the Fat one, with a batch file for copying it to the Fit and Skn
ones. Extract "copyskin.bat" to the same folder as the skin files,
and double-click it or run it in a DOS box; it will delete itself
when it's finished.

If this package is used together with the custom Gatchaman body 
files, the best order is to first install all the custom body
files, then create the characters, then install this archive.
Otherwise, the game may "helpfully" write standard nude, swimsuit
etc. bodies into the custom-body Sim's file, causing a game crash
when that Sim changes for bed.
