since the pre-war Vindicators are starting to look pretty good, I thought I have a go at one of their hangar-mates

Should have known better -- the exception to the rule is "everyone once and a while, you'll find a pasko model that DOESN'T have a decal bleed"

This one IS the rule -- most do. Well, there's 3 days work down the singularity ... kcuf

note to self --- talk a 3d modeler willing to build new Wildcats .....

Boss, I discover a way to avoid this decal leakings. Simply add REVERSE=TRUE to one of thered band.

[+Wrench]

hhmmm???? what about the lettering? I'm almost at the decals-per-mesh limit (there's only engine cowling & fuselage, no tail excepting the vert fin)

I assume I;ll have to make another set for the right side only??

 

EDIT:

nope, that didn't work. oh well, we tried!!!

[Wilches]

Yes, a new band and lettering apart. This works. You can paint the band if the decals limit's reached.

You know master!!

[+Wrench]

unfortunately, each 3-plane flight in the squadron has it's own color band, so must be Level-2 decals. Not biggie; Wildcats only wore the full color markings for about 6 months, before going to all-over NS gray in early 1941. That one we already got! but thanks!

I got a way to solve it, believe me. Pass me the decals and I´ll fix it.

[Wilches]

I have some tricks that I discover recently.

A handful of P-40N Warhawk/Kittyhawk Mk.IV skins: a generic late war USAAF silver, a generic USAAF olive drab over neutral grey, a generic OD over NG in Soviet colors, a Soviet winter camo, RAF No. 250 Squadron in TLS (Italy, 1945), as well as SAAF No. 11 Squadron in DFS (also Italy, 1945).

You may have to edit the text on it.

Much thanks sir!!!!

[+angelp]

Back where everything started some time ago... Building ships is very very time consuming to get the details and the never ending issue of balancing details and poly count with FPS and performance... but we are there...

Light Gray

Measure 32 Design 22D ( o something similar)

I think I will release her in gray.. the disruptive camo pattern does not look good

[+strahi]

And grey for Korea- Vietnam campaign, please.

[+Wrench]

Normally, I'd post these in the WW2 WIPs, but as only 7 or 8 of us are totally Prop Heads ....

Some of the other projects from Coyote Aerospace, courtesey angelp.

There ARE a host of others, too

[Wilches]

Boss, I´m a Prop Head from the start as you may know, and the new planes are most welcome BUT... will they be released?

Rules are rules...

[+daddyairplanes]

you know how long it will take...... approximately 14 days

mandatory screenie/ the next set coming up from Texas

[+EricJ]

This is a WIP thread, not a screenshot thread. I mean it's always been that way

[+daddyairplanes]

well, was forgetting that folks do comment on this one without the screenies

but it is also WIP, unless someone else beat me to releasing a Dyess composite Herk/Bone wing skinpack.....

[+EricJ]

I know that but it seems strange that everybody is like "mandatory screenie" when there's no need to.
