[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

well, it was a great weekend. very productive

but its monday again. back to work

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

from the "sometimes you gotta do it yourself department"

 

rather surprised theres no decals or on the ramp pics of this special paint job. only some formation pics, and the one showing left side was extra blurry....

RAM '90

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

bunch of chores to do today, didnt do too much

[+Nightshade/PR 7,928]

Not bad work for slacking off...... Not bad at all.

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

well compared to mos of the others, Cali is easy. one basic skin, one basic decal set. but with 29 airframes across three years

[+Nightshade/PR 7,928]

This will get flown to Herb Alpert's "Route 101"

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

you know, for such simple markings, this one has a complicated process....

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

i reject teh (old) reality,

and subsitute my own (new) one

now to fine tune that reality with the three different styles of "ANG" badge across the Magnolia Militia fleet......

That's pretty danged sharp.

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

thank you

better be for as much as it bugged me through the evening

aaaand i've justspotted another thing to fix

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

it's the waiting time again

if i were to give song lyrics to these, it would need to be to The Rolling Stones Waiting on a Friend

[+Nightshade/PR 7,928]

Since it's those 2 states, somehow I hear the theme from "Deliverance" and Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy"

ha ha

the songs lyrics for these two  came from Elvis and ZZ top thank you very much

Nebraska (coming in less than two weeks) was a bit harder to lyrically connect. but the Cali/Minnesota combo gets Prince.  best combination of Hollywood and Lake Minnetonka.....

[+Nightshade/PR 7,928]

Even if the entire state is the living embodiment of the song "Uneasy Rider" and the combined IQ of the state's population is 3 degrees less than the melting point of ice, these are some damned fine skins. (FYI, I grew up in MS)

As for the CA skins, I'll be humming "California Dreaming". And having been to Offutt, that was easy: "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"

Those Edwards birds got something in my eyes... 

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

well it would have been nice to do this as decals like i normally would. but the fuselage_tail mesh royally isnt cooperating. not mad, its a part no one would think needed a decal. just alittle disappointed

i still got most of the rest decalled out already

weekend release time

final stand alone chapter on ANG Recce Phantoms ( phinal chapter will include an Active Squadron too, so not strictly "Part Time")

I thought other Kevin had this. but no problema knocking it out when he said he wasnt. thanks once more to Sundowner for the refuel probe found later in this birds life

and just something for a little fun. i do like saying if you cant find something in game, go make it yourself

I have a magazine talking about this scheme.

[+daddyairplanes 10,231]

well that would have been useful 4 day days ago when i was still pic and info gathering

as it was i used a model decal sheet as primary reference.  the Spook with a Spanish flag im rather proud of tho,  blew up the decal 800 times for location reference then did the flag and adjusted the Spook myself
