+russouk2004 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Fuselage , cowling ,tail,stabilizers all mapped on two textures (top on one bottom on other,or sides...) now one texture each side...(top and bottom left on same texture etc) fuselage was on two maps now on its own.and was rather bad,had to remove a lot of polys and redo some....and then realign mapping etc.... tail was blocky so added few polys to make better... cowling was same as fuselage,now its one mesh but mapped on same tax as fuse etc... engines detail was poor so added better detailed mesh...props are temp .. got worst part done just about... 13 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 I know you're gonna fix the wheels!! . Russ, you REALLY are a machine!!! Are there other skins for this model, and will they be usable (I'm noting the FAA Martlet we're seeing now) Also, if possible, can I request the outboard gun barrels be seperate meshes, so the 'remove mesh trick' can be used to create the -3 Wildcat (4 guns) 1 Quote
+russouk2004 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Havent touched wheels etc yet... guns are all seperate meshes...Ive tried to make all meshes unique where poss... heres part of the descriptions in the a\c config for fs9 didnt include pic of the madagasgar 881sqd as its above...pics may not be in order 5 skins in total...not sure if theres a template...will contact the guy and ask...

Re-equipped with Wildcat Vs in Aug '43 and then embarked on Pursuer. Took part in the Tirpitz attack in April 1944 before re-equipment with Wildcat VIs. Went to Med aboard Pursuer and participated in Operation 'Dragoon' and then operations in the Aegean Sea. Returned to operations off Norway switching between Pursuer, Trumpeter and Premier.

+Wrench Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Painting the Skyshark ain't nothing -- it's overall Dark Gloss Navy Blue. I've had the "Naval Fighters" book on it for some time. Don't forget about the radar ARe you sure it's ready, model wise? I see a lot of unmapped sections in that Lod Viewer image Quote
