Heck Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 A little more experimental work using Gimp. Feel free to bash. It's the only way I'll learn. 3 Quote

Heck Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Need to find number info on these guys. I know this isn't the quite correct skull for a late N, but it's the best one I could find and repaint. Most lineups show a wide variation in skull types anyway. Gotta add a red spinner and paint chipping. Edited September 20, 2013 by Heck 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) on OD aircraft, the numbers would be yellow (-- closest match is RLM Gelb. RGB values 228/164/0) on natural metal, black each squadron in the group had a number sequence and often a color assigned; so, knowing WHICH squadron from what group would allow you to find out (with proper reference material, that is.) so, tell me, what squadron, what group, and I'll look it up Edited September 20, 2013 by Wrench Quote

I just carried over the numbers from a previous skin. I'll put yellow ones on it soon. Do you think it looks okay, otherwise? Edited September 20, 2013 by Heck Quote
+Wrench Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) yeah, I do. I like the dark dirt around the panel lines. The skull look great (considering none of them were exactly alike). I'll see if I can't find the proper number sequence in my books edit: 80th FG, 10th AF (name: Burma Banshees) 88th FS - 10-39 89th FS - 40-69 90th FS - 70-99 459th FS - 100-127 (P-38) white tail numbers damn thing doesn't list the spinner colors, so the basic (as used in New Guinea) (reads :WAG) 1st sqdn, red 2nd sqdn, yellow 3rd sqdn, green ------- screenie: Marine PBJ's looking for trouble off the South China Coast Edited September 20, 2013 by Wrench 1 Quote
Heck Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks, Wrench. You're the best. That PBJ looks incredible. This one was a training squadron, but I had to play with it. When it comes to the skulls, I'm going to find as many different ones as I can. Since these are decals, I can make them different for different aircraft. 1 Quote

+Wrench Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 Only when flying them seems to happen; escorting or intercepting generates the "proper" formations. it's gotta be a code fuck up. normally, most bomber formations should be based on a 3 plane flight. even messing with the formation ini didn't seem to help (drove/driven me bat-shit crazy when testing the B-17s) has anyone tried fiddling the formation ini to use the 'standard' bomber formations?
