+EricJ Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 More work, fixed the VMFA(AW)-225 as well as adding a national roundel. Also nose is of an early version (not sure) but here it is so far: 1 Quote

+EricJ Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Another skin that somehow didn't get finished: I have to add roundels on the wings Edited October 1, 2019 by EricJ 3 Quote
+EricJ Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Took some artistic liberties with the roundels as I have no reliable shots or reference pictures (nor could I find some new ones) so that was the last thing I needed to do, so it's also uploaded. Quote
+EricJ Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Starting to realize that most of these F/A-18B/D jets were shelved due to lack of reference photos, as this one was done off of one I believe as my reference folder has only two images of this: Quote
+EricJ Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Finishing touches and another one uploaded. 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 when you say lack of reference photos, whatcha using besides google searches? i've been using google as a base line, then visiting the sites link that the pic is from. i've also used groups on FB (esp veterans of that aircraft, not just fanboys) as a really good source. The B-52 group, with its many crew chiefs and weapons guys, has given excellent support during my most recent project. also tapdance your searches, input as many variations of the theme as you can think of however off the wall or seemingly irrelevant Quote
+EricJ Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Thanks it's been a while since I googled stuff, will keep that in mind. Quote
+Coupi Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Hello Eric, I like your new skins !!! About the TMF F/A-18D (compared with your F/A-18F) in my install, the behavior of the rudders ("toe in/out" function) is not the same ! Rudders "toe out" position with the Hornet and "toe in" position with the Super Hornet during the similar flight phase... What do you think about this from your experience ? Quote
+EricJ Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 FastCargo did the 3D model work for the Super Hornet while bpao did the TMF birds, so there is nothing I can do about the animations if that is what you're asking. And I have no experience with the real jets so I don't know really. 1 Quote
+allenjb42 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Eric, welcome home, and loving the new skins. I may be misremembering, but did you once post a WIP of an F/A-18F skin from Behind Enemy Lines? It's been a while since I saw the movie but think it had an NJ tailcode. No idea what the squadron was, but I'm guessing it wasn't one that actually flew over Bosnia? 1 Quote
+EricJ Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 I still have that skin, the movie squadron was "VFA-163" and so on. I can set it up if you want it. 2 Quote

I think some of the guys are working on a Balkans terrain, so this will fit right in. Also, we can do some screenies for Wrench's Movie Madness thread! 2 Quote
+EricJ Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 Cool, I'll have to watch the movie again to get the stuff right, but I'll get it up ASAP. 1 Quote

+EricJ Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 Another skin I did, very basic scheme for the F-31A Mustang II, found this when trying to help somebody. Already uploaded but is a basic "Mod Eagle" scheme for that aircraft. 1 Quote
