no worries....the error was on my end not yours. I just wish I could have blamed it on a few to many beers rather than my declining mental state. ;)

[+FLOGGER23]

Too many hits in the head while playing, Matt??? ;)

 

BTW Hiiiiiiii!!!!

just a test...

needs a hell of a lot more work....

[+Wrench]

a little better, just a few small bits to fill in. can't figure out WHY the damn rudder hinge area is still white..there must be a separate mesh I'm missing painting green...

 

CL, the Osprey book is a bit vague...did they carry the standard marking on the tail and wings? (CVW code and modex?). The Osprey book said it carried the tail codes, with I assume are still the NH (like I've done before), but are they reduced in size like the cowl modex and insignia?

Also, is says only 3 carried this experimental camo...but I'd have to do all 12 (well, HAVE done the 12 -- just reused my other decals)

[charlielima]

My stoke level set to level 1.

I do not have the osprey book.

From BN's post it appears the modex but the small nose numbers are not there.

Wrench you are about a light year or so ahead of me on this one.

That skin rocks.

The most I expected out of this was perhaps a "Maybe a transfer to USAF or VNAF ?"

I feel robbed. I didn't have a chance to snivel for the skin even yet.

Oh yah. 12 will be fine.

Wrench, you're right about a mesh in the rudder hinge area.

 

 

[+Wrench]

indeed, but WHERE is it mapped to on the tail bmp?? the only thing I can think of, is that lower right region, just below the "tail cone". (and the flaps and ailerons do it too!)

[+KnightWolf45]

its problaly inside another white part to save mapping space try to using color dots to find it!

check these parts out Kevin

 

[Nyghtfall]

LOD-VIewer says it's on A-1x_TAIL.bmp.

 

the green bits in the lower right corner.

 

 

[charlielima]

Possibly both green ones :

 

 

From the plastic modeling community :

 

 

 

 

The right side of the model doesn't look close. Except for decaling, I don't put much faith in models especially with ordinance .

yup, lower right corner. found it last night. I'd forgotten about the all orange one I'd done for the 'fire fighter mod', and that section was colored in game.

 

here it is with the full markings, although reduced in size. there were 3 pictures of them in the Osprey book (albit b&W), but nothing showed the CVW markings. So, to be different, I left them on.

camo patter is not 100% accurate, but close enough for the game.

[charlielima]

Splendid !

All that totally makes sense Wrench.
