started green/grey p38

[viking73]

Will start working on a name soon (probably Porky II or something) and will be looking into roughing it up a bit if possible. If we could see a diagram of the bmp file which shows the separation of each part, that would help.(right now it's hit and miss for me) Anything I need to know for the name and lettering before I start?

I know about the problem of the spinners and the nose so I'm gonna concentrate on everything else. I may have a problem with the right underside aileron being the same color as the top. Will keep testing.

neat

Here's a pic showing that the right underside aileron on the p-38 is mapped wrong. The other side is ok.

I'm having that problem with the F4U-1.  I'm putting pretty pink lines all over the place trying to find things like leading edges; unfortunatly the part of the pixmap that's wrapped on the leading edge is ALSO mapped elsewhere, so no "fake" gun ports for my Hog.

Try "Californie Cutie".

That site has pictures of both the original, and the Duxford P-38 that wore that paint scheme when it crashed.

It's a great plane with great history.

By the way, the real Porky II was not a J or L model P-38. I think it was an F, but may have been a G or H model.

Yes, that is definately a contender. Heck, might do more than one. Glacier Girl would be a nice one too but don't know if that would be considered "authentic". Now if we just could get control of those spinners!
