Insignias are wrong, of course. Just testing the camo.
Lots of work to do... But it will work. I hope... :)

Work in progress on Big Beautiful Doll.  Due to limitations I doubt HT will accept this particular skin.  But here it is anyway.  I still have to do weathering and alot of minor details and adjustments.

You need to know that our model of the B17G was too late for the green paint.  Ours has the 'Cheyenne' tail gun and offset waste gunners making any paint job non historical.

Still, I'm working on a green one too but I can't imagine working on more then one bomber at a time.  <>

btw, from my work:  The rivet and panel line pattern on our AH B17 is wrong and you need to search photos and illustrations to find the correct patterns.  For instance, the actual panels overlap (look at nose art close-ups) with only one tight row of rivets to secure both panels, pretty shoddy appearing but tough really.  Another discrepancy is the lineup of the panel lines between the tail and the fuselage section in the AH model but they're easily corrected.

Be sure to do all your test viewing in 1024 bit video settings and pay close attention to the top and bottom of the fuselage where a misplaced rivet will smear with the rest of the skin map.  You can't place rivets in the top surfaces or the forward bottom surface.  Once all the fighters go to 1024 bit maps, everyone will have these problems but for now, only the bomber skinners see it.
Easy in-game again.

Yak-9U Souther Front and a Green one
« Reply #44 on: July 14, 2004, 06:34:17 PM »
I am building a Yak-9 skin in Brown and Light Brown as produced for the Southern Front in 1944 by Zavoda 153 and 166.

I am about 80% done.

See page 164 of Soviet Air Force Fighter Colours 1941-1945 by Erik Pilawskii for the scheme.

I am also about 50% done with a "Loops Pattern" Yak-9 in AII Green and Dark Green, reference p.180 of the same book.
