Olham 164 Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Nbryant asked me in the "Screenshots" thread, why I don't make more "Allied" skins. Well, I don't fly Entente very much, simply because they don't offer any Albatros. But I remembered a SPAD XIII skin for Esc.48 which I had made long ago. I had actually thought I had uploaded it back then - but I hadn't. Well, now I have. This is a fabric new (pretty clean) SPAD, with all emblems freshly painted on to. So, this skin may disappoint all fans of heavy weathering. Widowmaker - know what I mean? Nudge, nudge? Or perhaps you make your weathering on top of it? However - this skin was made of an OBD skin (Sandbagger's?), so thank you guys for all the amazing wonderful lots of skins you have created! .

Shiloh 12 Posted April 11, 2012 Very nice indeed Olham. Those Spads are mighty-fine craft. I only wish the guns came with more rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 11, 2012 Well, we are flying a WW1 simulation - so we have to make do with some limitations. Still, we are much better off than the flyers back then - we don't burn, when we're shot down in flames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted April 11, 2012 I rarely do any weathering to your skins Herr Olham!...they are FAR too nice to get dirty!!!!!.....this is a corker!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NS13Jarhead 6 Posted April 11, 2012 If I ever learn how to energy dogfight instead of turn fighting, I may have to give that one a go. Very nice. It almost looked like a Vintage Aviator picture at first. Besides, ALL the paint jobs were new at some point. I don't think that the aircraft came pre-weathered from the factory.

Olham 164 Posted April 11, 2012 Gee, what BIG compliments, Widowmaker and Jarhead! Thank you both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted April 11, 2012 Gee, what BIG compliments, Widowmaker and Jarhead! Thank you both! I like it too Very impressive! The SPAD is a bitch to skin due to its incredible number of ribs everwhere, plus various details requiring delicate work. You managed it extremely well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanDrone 4 Posted April 12, 2012 That is most mighty pretty! I don't know how you guys do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) I only made an OFF skin more colourful basicly, and added the emblem, which I had found a graphic of in the web. It is all a bit too dynamic and saturised in the colours, but I wanted exactly that. But almost all of this skin was already there (done by Sandbagger, I guess) - I only sent it through the car wash. No, wait, SPAD-wash. Edited April 12, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
