WIP SH VFA-213 "Dirty Lion" personal skin

[+EricJ]

Finally got CS3 working...

 

This is based off of SidDogg's VFA-213 skin, just trying to spruce it up..

[+EricJ]

More Touchup, more weathering:

[+Gocad]

Looks good. But if I may add a suggestion: replace the black & white insignia. Just the VFA-103 CAG bird has them.

[+EricJ]

Okay...it seems that this one has this style with the VFA-213 stock one, so got it.

[+EricJ]

Getting there... looking something real

[+EricJ]

Almost finished... I wanted the more A-7E style pattern (monotone) rather than the two tone pattern that's used on real world Supa Bugs.

[+Gocad]

FYI, the TPS for the A-7 used Light and Dark Compass Ghost Grey as well.

 

The overall Gull Grey paint job was used around the late 1970s/early 1980s.

Yeah.... but I'm going off the MF paint scheme, it's just really laziness actually. I think it looks good though, enough for my tastes anyways

Holy s**te that's a beautiful skin Eric. Truly wonderful job.

[+EricJ]

Thanks! Once I finalize the PSD, I'm going to upload a generic one. Erwin_Han's is allright, but leaves much to be desired as far as usefulness..

I agree, FS36440 looks way better than the FS36320/36375 combination.

And found some good numerals....
