+Corktip_14 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Using Mppd's template as a base, I've worked on those two skins lately: A redone VA-145 AD-6 with correct Nose numbers (in the 5xx range): A pack of VA-196 'Main Battery' birds, during one of the 'Bonnie Dick' cruise, with correct nose numbers too (6xx range): I'll finish the VA-25 birds and will upload the pack as soon as it's done.

+NeverEnough Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Great set of new clothes for a beautiful model! Terrific work as always, Corktip. Quote
mppd Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Skins look great - can't wait for a copy! Mike D. Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks guy! Here's a little news: VA-25 AD-6 crossing the path of a Mig-17 while performing a CAS mission: Quote
charlielima Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Much needed! Can't wait. Are those the stock pilots? If so mine are missing. :ph34r: CL Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Much needed! Can't wait. Are those the stock pilots? If so mine are missing. :ph34r: CL Hello Charlielima, Sorry, but no, those aren't the stock pilots, those are the ones that come with YAP, and I repainted this one with a VA-145 helmet scheme. As far as the first AD pack is concerned, it should be out really soon. I'm working on the 577 plane of VA-25 that shooted down one Mig-17, trying some changes with decals, and it will be ok. I should release it next week or so. BTW, does anyone knows what were the nose numbers of VA-25 aboard USS Miday? It seems they're all in the 57x or 58x range.

charlielima Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Bitchin' I was wondering if You were going to do VA-25 also since I am a FOTF fan (FOTFOTF? thats a moniker up for grabs). The pics I've seen out there show both 57X and 58X numbers. Check http://www.midwaysailor.com/midway1960/1960flightops.html And http://www.midwaysailor.com/midwayva25bomb/index.html for the special weapon. Someday I'll bug wrench for one. I like to show the Migs in my screenshots. :ph34r: CL Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 The pilots should come with any of RAZBAMs A-1s so if you buy the plane you will get the pilot. You don't have to buy YAP. Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Did you get the pilot sorted out CL? Which package did you buy? YAP or the A1s? Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 Hi Sag, I have to disagree, those are the YAP pilots, not the stock Razbam ones. Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 It doesn't matter if you agree. It just was never stated what the pilot was. If it was the pilot made by RAZBAM and came with the original A1 from RAZBAM and sold in the YAP package or if it was the new pilot that YAP had made to replace that pilot. That being stated or a close up of the pilot would have solved that probelm, whatever problem there was. Quote

That being stated or a close up of the pilot would have solved that probelm, whatever problem there was. There's no problem at all, just discussing here. I stated in my first answer to charlielima that it was YAP's pilot with a skin I've made, not the stock Razbam's. And you're true about a little screenshot, so I think this little picture will be worst hundred words: VA-145 pilot based on Diego's model in a Mig-Killer A-1H (VA-25, I know, but I hadn't made a pilot for it yet): Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Yes then there is Stock - Thirdwire, Stock - RAZBAM and Stock - YAP. Pictures go far. Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 VA-25 birds are done! Numbers runing from 570 to 589, including full correct markings for the 577 "Mig Killer" bird. Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) The pack will be available in a couple minutes folks! Edited October 30, 2007 by Corktip_14 Quote
+NeverEnough Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Wow, these are some beautiful skins. Thanks much! Quote
+Dave Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Hey Cork, Bib and I did some skin for this when it came out, a lot of rework. Use them if you want to. We found decal location etc... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3879 Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 Hey Dave! Thanks for the offer! In fact, I was greatly inspired by your decal placement for the tail codes and the nose numbers for this pack. Using the F-104 tail code was pure genius! Quote
