Bare metal


Recommended Posts

thank you, yes, I like this scheme too.

So I'll try to make it really nice, still sorting the details, plus I'm not yet happy with the metal...we continue.

 

Meanwhile, a few more in progress shots (or should I take this to the repaint forum?)

Love how it catches the light looks really good....whilst I was cleaning some 5th floor windows I thought mire of Matts morphed name I reckon a Mustfire would be good...great name for a combat aircraft....I like how u have period dressed people in shot 1...

I really really love that you left the tail control surfaces, and anti glare on the nose "Camo"...such a great detail that helps sell that Spit/Mustang crossbreed image in my head.

 

Any chance you could put this paint, or similar (different registration maybe?), on the A2A Spitfire as well? 

 

By the way...is this an actual aircraft? Or a "what if" livery?

No, this was a real aircraft.

and a2a, I did that one a while ago.

Currently on the road, so you'll have to look for it on ozx yourself, but it should be there.

 

Thank you sir! Found it and a few more interesting paints by you while there...grabbed a few of the non-camo paints...blues, and silvers...neat stuff. :)

One from Pago Pago last night. Thanks Jan!

 

It was a bit warm there, and fought the cooling the whole trip...not much Heat headroom for the taxi so I pulled in steaming :)

While I was at the OZx site getting the paint...I looked for your P40 work and was pleased to find this one very similar to EP-A scheme there...just wondering though...are the wheels supposed to be spray painted the same color as the underside of the wings? :stars:

I checked, and mine has black wheels as it should, so I am not sure what is the trouble with your version? Do you have all 6 texture files and 6 spec files in the 'texture.JK_41-13442' folder?

meanwhile, work continues on the bare metal spit:

 

First, I made the spec a bit lighter:

so it reflects brighter colors, and then I started scratching the metal, hopefully in a subtle way:

subtle enough?

 

and a view from the cockpit:

even in the shade the wing gives the impression of being bare metal, or at least I think so. Do you agree?

Might be a file missing from the download???

 

This is all of them (I re-downloaded the compressed file and re-0extracted to make sure).

The Spitfire is looking terrific!

 

Edit: This is resolved...Jan is such a prolific painter, I didn't realize there were two A2A versions of the P40, WOP3 and Shockwave..I have WOP3 and had inadvertently (pc for Stupidly) downloaded the shockwave. Doh.

 

Thanks for sorting me out Jan. :)
