There were many paint schemes for the 'Sakeen' over the years, including the black spit.

Both my pics are taken from the 'Heil Ha'avir' museum in Hatzerim.

While the second colorful pic is taken from the current exhibition, the first black&white pic I think is a genuine pic from the era.

I just went with RLM 64 (iirc) overall for the 'stand in version I did some years back. Like another modder posted the other day "the more research you do, the more contradictions you find".

 

No matter what color it comes out in, it'll ALLL be good!!

MontyCZ keep them subtle for better effect

Like I said he can load the model as an .obj in xNormal and see it with normalmapping in a realtime engine and check for himself. If you can't see them you can't tweak them.

Thanx I thought, that I can se it only on simple plane and it looks good enough.

I will test it. I tried to export original P-51s bumpmap textures to compare them

but that compress tool for new cats is not user friendly enough :-)

Comparing the above pics I find many tiny differences among them the supercharger filter.

And I disagree with you Dave, sorry...

Here what I mean about the windshield and canopy in this photoshop edit:

Notice also that the protective backplate should be angled.
