Hello, check PM Raven! Very good prop mod.

[+RAVEN 414]

Mk.IIc New nose,Fwd Fuselage and new wing damage with 20mm's.

 

Time to hit the silk.

[+RAVEN 414]

What's that sound?

[amariani 4,648]

Beautiful nose lines, Raven.  Even though you're just starting.  You've captured it so well. 

 

Wilches, I use Stary's excellent Mid war light fighter cockpit for 51bs.  They work well, in case Raven doesn't have time for a dedicated cockpit, which, if I understand correctly, are harder to create than the aircraft.

I did a little mod for use on the Malcolm-hooded Mustangs. A bonus find was the little mirror at the top of the windscreen arc after removing the canopy frames.

P-40 B/C Pit. Making progess.

you do know that Mustangs, even the A and A-36 didn't have machine gun breeches sticking into cockpit, right?? You'll have to edit the cockpit ini to remove them

[amariani 4,648]

I know, but that's the closest one available.

[Wrench 9,417]

first look at the new J model gunship

[Wrench 9,417]

somebody was asking about PBJs the other day??

 

The -1D is almost ready, and this is the -1H. When the glass nosed J is released, I'll do a Marine version for that one, too.

 

[Wrench 9,417]

The Marines will be getting their new PBJ-1Js soon, too!!

[Wrench 9,417]

Unitl I get the new updated lod  for the J (needs a few small tweeks), I thought I'd experiment with more RAF Mitchell IIIs

 

the placement of the RNLAF triangle is just guesswork. still trying to run down 'where'; some had them, some not

[+Soulfreak 6,350]

Reworking Russo´s Tiger Moth.

reworking Bump Maps, Temps, inis etc...

Will have some "unusual" skins too.

[+LloydNB 212]

I thought I might do a Yugoslav Do17K.  Early days but showing promise.

 

I presume I can cover the cameras in the Do17P with a decal.

[Wrench 9,417]

if they're part of the model, yes. If it's "glass" (a tga), no. SF2 doesn't allow for tga on tga action

[+LloydNB 212]

Well, I'm afraid the cameras can't be covered up.  So I'll have to beg Veltro to do a Do.17K.

 

I've updated the skin above - just some tinkering to do.

will do Lloyd

[+Veltro2k 6,315]

something like this

[Wrench 9,417]

Nice!

[+LloydNB 212]

Looks great. But I didn't realise you'd have to start from scratch.  I thought the Do17K was a P without the cameras and a longer only partially glazed nose. 

 

Now I feel guilty for suggesting it.

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

K has a longer nose like that one now iirc M his P whit no cameras
F his lime M but whit a in line engine

[+Veltro2k 6,315]

.

[+LloydNB 212]

I like it!!

 

Can I dare to hope that you used the mapping from the P skin?  Or do I have to start again?  If you want to release it with the Yugoslav skin, drop me a line and I'll send it through.

I've started to re-do my Martlet skins.  I'm looking to release skins for MkI (four gun, non folding wings), MkII (six gun, folding wings) and MkIII (4 gun, non folding wings). Below is the MkI (markings not finalised.

[+Geezer 3,569]

Good job!  The camo colors are nicely subdued. 

 

EDIT:  A handful of Sea Gladiators, stored by the FAA in Alexandria as spares, were "borrowed" by the RAF during the 1940 desert war.  While I've modeled the arrestor hook in my Gladiator model, I hadn't planned on painting Sea Gladiator skins.  Maybe you would be interested?

I did a SAAF skin for Cocas's Gladiator some time back.  I'd be happy to give your one a go.
