I like the Desert Pink uppersurfaces hastily applied over the normal grey (well, that's how I interpret it).

[Derk 265]

Ha, ha, it's a "Tornado-ized" TSR 2 !!! Great stuff !!!!!!!

[+Julhelm 266]

I like it a lot. I wonder what could be done to a Vigilante using the same ideas.

[Slartibartfast 153]

Why use the Vigi when we have a TSR-2 available here ?

[mdatelmi 124]

As a modeler I can say that it's a great idea an very well executed!

My respect!

[DoctorWho 106]

I'm giving this one a shot. I've got the basic skin already done and now I'm going to make some decals. I can upload some pics later.

[DoctorWho 106]

And by the way, could anyone tell me which squadron it is? I'm not so much into RAF stuff.

Because it's an attractive plane and it would be cool to see a "modernized" Vigi.

[Wrench 9,850]

which squadron it is

 

whichever one uses green & yellow check -look at the intake covers -- 257 maybe?

[DoctorWho 106]

I've got it. It's No.31 sqn. Some reference:

You could try and match the wear on the model so it'll look better.

Could you be more specific? Anyway, I really appreciate any suggestions that help to improve my work.

Awesome work...

If you look at the photos of that model kit and compare them to your texture, the model has noticeably darker panel lines and more dirt that makes it pop much better than your texture, where that stuff is too subtle to be visible.

[DoctorWho 106]

The lines are so subtle because I used the color to alpha option to get rid of the original color but i think that some additional layer will help.

[+Julhelm 266]

I'd just repaint the panellines with a black brush and play around with opacity.
