Hello All, This question goes out to those who are using GIMP for skinning on aircraft. I have tried and read on how to make silver or metal color for aircraft skin. I am unable, so far..., to get the sliver color that I want? Can someone who knows how to make the silver color using GIMP share their knowledge on the forum? Thanks

To all the Experts! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I am on a trip.. unable to test anything on an aircraft. I have been testing the looks of it using the GIMP program on my laptop. I have been using a medium grey as background and base color. Using the selection of 'Color- colorize' and 'Filter- noise/RGB noise. I think I have come up with a silver color? Looks good on a .bmp format but unable to test it to see if it will look proper on an aircraft? I have also try multi. layer format. Bacground- base color (grey)- black- white- base color (copy#1 with about 54 opacity)- base color (copy#2 with about 50 or less opacity). The black and white are in different areas of the base color so to let it look like a different metal or silver finish on the skin. On top of all these, I did the colorize and noise/RGB noise to make it look better. So, I am heading in the right direction? I think I will know once I am able to test it on an aircraft. Spinners - Thanks for explaining it to me. Thanks again Ace888

Guys, I am asking these questions without much thought...? Once you have establish a color close to silver or some form of metallic color (via) using overlay of colors and changes in opacity... Is the TRUE color can only be seen after you adjust the 'Specular' and 'Reflection' via Testureset.ini? Is there a specific specular and reflection number to use for the shinning silver or metallic color? Or you have to play with it to get the color you desire? Spinners - what is a 'gradient brush?'

Thanks DanW I will be practicing on the skin...

I have seen the Eagle on one of the Anime movies...? I cannot remember which one?

My Friends, Thank you very much for all of your inputs and knowledge sharing. I will have to try all of them to learn a new method on 'colors.' Anymore information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again... Ace888

Por favor, disculpe mi español verbage pobres. Mis amigos Combatace compañeros. He visto muchos aviones maravillosa hecha por el Español / grupo de América. Me wonderfing si puedo problemas que algunos de ustedes para lo siguiente? Actualmente estoy trabajando en el F-5F, mediante VR (FastCargo). Yo no estoy enel know how sobre el programa de 3DMax o su uso? Sé que ustedes han hechoañadido elementos en el F-5E de la fuerza aérea respectiva de Chile y Brasil a través del "piloto falso método '. Amor agregó el reabastecimiento de combustible yel recipiente que agregó VHF / UHF hojas y ampollas. ¿Puede alguien hacer un mod "método experimental falsos" para mí en el F-5F? Elreabastecimiento de combustible externo agregó antenas y el recipiente queagregó la hoja y ampollas sería bueno tener. Estoy seguro de que algunos de ustedes ya hizo el Ministerio de Defensa para suuso personal en el F-5F. Hay alguna posibilidad de compartir el mod? Oh, can the guys made the mods for the F-5E share the work by uploading the aircraft? Thanks for the consideration. Gracias Ace888

Muchas gracias PeacPuma

PP Nicely done my friend. I try to send a PM to you but the forum stated you cannot receive messages? I knew you or someone already made the 'specialized' F-5 for Chile and Brazil. I hope that you would consider uploading it someday? I have a request from you: You made the FACH F-16AM with the added mode 'via' the fake pilot method. Do I have your permission to use this mode for my ROCAF F-16AM Block 20 project? I am from Taiwan originally, I just want to make some skins for the ROCAF. I hope I will have your permission? Thank you. Ace888

Thank you 'macelena' By the way... I made the post while I was pretty tire. So I do apologize if my sentence structure is not proper or with poor grammar.

I guess I should just write it in English.... I am working on a few skins base on the model made by VR (FastCargo). So far my plan is to do all of the squadrons in the ROCAF and ROKAF. I would like to add the more specialize version from Chile and Brazil. I have seen the wonderful versions of the F-5E for Chile and Brazil; the added fuel probe and the extra blade antennas 'via' the (fake pilot method) on this Spanish forum. I was wondering if anyone can be kind enough to make the added fuel probe and the extra blade antennas for the F-5F? Perhaps someone already made it since the specialize version of the F-5E for Chile and Brazil is already made? If that is the case... would it be uploaded for sharing? Is there also any chance of the person or group of people who made the more specialize version of the F-5E to be uploaded? Or even better, is there anyone working on a NEW F-5E? Thank you.

How is the progress on this project? Hope to see some more excellent work
