EricJ Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I've been working slowly on this one, due to the sheer annoyance it causes, but with more time on hand, been getting 'er done. Quote
FastCargo Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Er, I hope the annoyance is with the paint job, not the model... FC Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 was thinking about this beauty the last days and wondered what happen to it.. Quote
EricJ Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Er, I hope the annoyance is with the paint job, not the model... FC Most definitely the paint job It's nice (and thanks Syrinx!) and efficient, but extensive splinter camos like this are just painful. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 That is, indeed, one cool lookin' little zipper! :fan_1: Quote
EricJ Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 I've gotten the underside "finished" (still have to work on the gear doors) but started on the spine. I tend to do this when things are slow so updates are likewise, but will probably have an update tomorrow my time. Quote
+pappychksix Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I think IO've seen that bird somewhere before....nice job Eric....Nice job.....Pappy Quote
EricJ Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 Yep Vampyre referenced it from a book, and just so happens TwoBobs has a decal sheet. It's not totally correct yet, but going to add more in as soon as I get the major stripes done. Quote
EricJ Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 Got the major pattern mostly done, going to add some more spots here and there. Still have some small spots but it's starting to look good Quote
DarthRevan Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 If you think that splinter is a pain in the A*s you should try the Swedish Splinter Cammo . Anyway looking good so far keep it up Quote
EricJ Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 Don't get me started about that camo pattern, and if somebody wishes, and FC manages to finish this, then you all can have fun with that But seriously, it's painstaking work as far as getting it lined up and exact. So while it seems I'm not putting much effort into it, I am, but I do other skins to "take a break". I did Cat's SimHQ bird and it took me 18+ hours, first to get a workable template, and then the splinter... which wasn't as extensive as this one is. In the end though... it's definitely worth it.

Canadair Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Comin' along. I am among those that are waiting for the two seaters F-5's various versions. I guess I am in good company. and this Agressor Tiger stripes is wonderful Quote
EricJ Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 Well that's a matter of FC getting around to it.. haven't heard from him and I'm liking this as well.. and thanks! Quote
FastCargo Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Eric, you're doing nice work there. Please, continue. Also, you may want to talk to KillerBee...he's done a pretty nice job on the ejection seats (he's volunteered for the T-38 for his special project) if you guys want to compare notes. FC Quote
