Hey FC,how are you doing? I'm around. RL has me kinda busy....I will stay in touch...take care, Pete

Thank you sir, I have ALWAYS liked this airplane.....

I want to put a decal on he airbrake of the stock Vautour in SF2. Does ANYONE know the name of the airbrake mesh? Thanks in advance, Pete

Thanks Kevin...Worked like a chanp...Pete

I was hoping to do a "what if" aircraft. Imagine this using the XB-51's rotary bombbay and this AC being selected inplace of the British Canberra. This markings are painted on the AC.

Does a USMC KC-130F exist? I did this early paint scheme since I like colorful AC...Pete

I have the "E" but not sure on the recce template. Let me know if you need the "E" template and I will send it you way...Take care, Pete

Does anyone know the name of this part of the F-4? Can't find it anywhere...Thanks, Pete

OK...what is the name of this mesh? Anyone know?

Thanks guys....it is for SF2...Pete

For those who are interested, TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is airing "Towards the Unknown" tomorrow (November 12th) at 10:30 pacific time. Great movie with Willaim Holden along with aircraft you just can see anywhere else like the XB-61 and F-94C Starfire. Great movie if you haven't seen it... Pappy

Man,I thought you fell off the earth...welcome back!

Hey Ray, welcome aboard. Skinning isn't really simple, but not so hard once you get the hang of it. BUT there are some aircraft that are more involved than others, the F-4 Phantom being one of those. The simplist way I found was to find a simple aircraft with easy mapping like the F-31A (http://combatace.com/files/file/11260-f-31a-or-x-31a-skin/) and start from there. In the beginning, I use a very simple paint program (Diego showed me the error of my way and now I use Photoshop) to just draw the panel lines. Then I would add the skin in whatever form I thought was correct. You have to experiment ALOT. I am pretty sure there are videos somewhere in this site to get you started. Good Luck, Pete
