Crusaders? (Planes and Skins)

[The_Editor 2]

Many thanks!

Ah, decisions...

 

Tell me, which set of decals looks better:

These decals (like the Modex numbers) were made with the Amarillo font, but it's quite different from the so-called Long Beach font that is actually used.

 

That's a different font, which is a lot closer to the Long Beach font.

The Amarillo font seems to be the standard font that skinners use on a lot of flight sims, so I think, anything closer to the real thing will be welcome.

Well, I will be updating the decals for my Crusader skins in the upcoming weeks...it's not really what I call fun, but it needs to be done.

I begin to like doing repaints of existing skins.

 

Also, two skin updates: VF-202 & VMF-351

New decals and some texture changes. More updates will follow.

Coming soon (read: in a few hours ): VF-211 Fighting Checkmates (1972)

[+Gocad 26]

Next WiP: VF-53 Iron Angels (1965)

Those Crusaders sure got around back then.

[+Gocad 26]

Not a WiP anymore.

[The_Editor 2]

Great, as always.

[+Gocad 26]

More updates/upgrades.

 

VMF-251 got updated (new decals, see TOTP), and the TPS skin package received some sort of extreme makeover. I have pretty much redone the entire skin and renamed it, too.

 

And here's the result:

VFP-206 'Hawkeyes' TPS

Final round:

NAF Washington and NAS Willow Grove updated.

 

VC-5 drone controller scheme and VF-174 updated.

 

And that's it. :yes:

[+Gocad 26]

Ah, detailsdetailsdetails....

Another Sundowner skin: VF-111 CVW-8 (1970)

 

And yes, there will be a CAG scheme. Two weeks!

Edited September 2, 2008 by Gocad

That is a superb Sundowner skin.

[+Gocad 26]

Something else I can't stop to work on...

VF-13 Night Cappers

[+Gocad 26]

The result of some 60 minutes of work (messing around with Photoshop that is):

F8U-1E VMF-312 Checkerboards

 

Teh world needs more Dash-1 skins...

I guess that now I have to make a VF-24 low-vis skin as well...

[+suhsjake 11]

Any chance of an VF-84 skin for the B and D (becuase we don't have a C)?

Edited October 9, 2008 by suhsjake

[+Gocad 26]

Actually there is a C around (here), anyway, the reason why I don't plan to do this skin is simply that I have no clue how to get the fuselage stripe right...

At last, a Night Cappers skin...available soon.
