snapper 21 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Hi All I am playing around with the C-130H templates trying to make a JASDF version, what do you think? Has anyone ot any decals for JASDF Hercs? Cheers Snapper 21 Quote
+Wrench Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 nobody's ever done any that I've ever seen. might have to scour Joe Baugher's site, by produciton year to find the serials for the 16 or 18 they got http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1983.html Quote
Nightshade/PR Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 This might help....... http://photohito.com/photo/1873235/ Quote
snapper 21 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the replies, those light blue C-130s are interesting, would like to know when that scheme came in. After looking through a lot of pics on Airlines.net and if wiki is right on there only being 15 delivered.

+Soulfreak Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 some details for JASDF Hercs: http://www15.tok2.com/home/lttom/military-powers_jasdf/usoki/c-130/military-powers_c-130.html http://www.andersen.af.mil/photos/mediagallery.asp?galleryID=3306&?id=-1&page=7&count=24 I think you should rework the camo a bit. The borders on the darker green look not right. And maybe painting the insignias on the texture, not as decal.. But so far a nice paint! Quote
+Wrench Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 don't forget, when painting on national insignia, it 'grays out' the displayed nation name in the loadout screen (not a real issue for a transport), unless the 'level1 decal cheat' is used. http://combatace.com/topic/70682-nationality-fix-for-painted-on-insginia/ Quote
snapper 21 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Can I ask what the advantage is, of having the insignias on the texture? Still trying to get rid of the borders on the green, but also have been trying to re-create the blue. Not sure if its correct. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 panel and rivet lines show 'through' the national marking, creating a more painted on look Quote
+Soulfreak Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Looks nice so far! Maybe helpful, if you are at simmerspaintshop.com too. http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/f29-aircraft-profile-painting/jasdf-c-130h-3559/index2.html Quote
snapper 21 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Still working on the camo, looking at pics on the internet can't decide if wing colour or fuselage colour green is more realistic. Haven't tried painting insignia on skin yet. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 maybe the colors off the JASDF DLC Phantoms would help?? Quote
+Soulfreak Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 http://www.interkultur.de/gossmann/fsx/maiw/woamil17.htm Try to adapt the colors from here maybe? It´s a JASDF Herc for FS... Quote
snapper 21 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 My latest attempt, not sure if painting the insignia is going to happen as I can't get the scale and position right. So what do you think? Cheers Snapper 21 Quote
