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. Quote
+Wrench Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 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!!! Quote
Wilches Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 Yes, a new band and lettering apart. This works. You can paint the band if the decals limit's reached. You know master!! Quote
+Wrench Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 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! Quote

Pass me the decals and I´ll fix it. Quote
Wilches Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 I have some tricks that I discover recently. Quote
Blade Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) 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).

+angelp Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 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... 14 3 Quote

+angelp Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 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 9 Quote
+Wrench Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 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 5 1 Quote
Wilches Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 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... 3 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 you know how long it will take...... approximately 14 days mandatory screenie/ the next set coming up from Texas 1 Quote
+EricJ Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 This is a WIP thread, not a screenshot thread. I mean it's always been that way Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 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..... Quote
+EricJ Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 I know that but it seems strange that everybody is like "mandatory screenie" when there's no need to. 1 Quote
