...and I was thinking that AH pt boat would need a better camo skin. The one it has now is ok to hide in the bushes but not in the water. :lol

Hello Chimpy.:)
 Is the same Sky Chimp from PF?

I have Radeon X800xt. Those frames are  offline. But it gets bad around the carriers, and online I have to reduce quality. My procesor is the bottleneck(P4@2.53Ghz):

Nope. I just spraypainted the default skin a bit.
Made it just for fun, but I think a blue or grey skin would be beter then green.

Many, many years ago, I built a model PT.  I think it was a Revel kit.  Anyway, it had this wild black/white dazzle paintjob.  The entire boat, even the deck, was covered in sorta-rectangular patches about 5-10' on a side, each one composed of numerous black and white parallel stripes.  These stripes were more or less the same width in each patch, but sometimes they tapered across the patch, and the stripes in some patches were much wider than in other patches.  Each rectangular patch was set at a different angle, so you had all these stripes going in different directions over short portions of the boat.  It looked like a zebra as interpretted by Picaso on crack.

Needless to say, this was a TOTAL pain to paint, and I made a complete hash of it.  So I gave up about 1/3 through and overpainted the whole thing battleship gray.  Then I tossed it out in my pond and sank it with my pellet gun.

Anyway, every once in a while I've been tempted to try this on the PT skin.  It's historical, it's challenging, but I doubt anybody would ever use it because it would be so conspicuous.

I figure a picture's worth a thousand words so I'm talking about something like this:

Partial dazzle scheme on PT boat

Only, of course, the dazzle would be all over the whole boat.  I guess the easy part is that the pattern doesn't go around corners like the stock camo.  OTOH, doing even this much was a total botheration, and like I said, it's conspicuous as all Hell.  Also, IIRC, the model I built with this scheme was an older model of PT, with actual tubes for full-sized torps instead of these little aircraft torps sitting on racks.

Well, being stuck in a truckstop for the whole damn weekend sucks enough to get me to dazzle up the whole damn PT....

Finished Dazzle PT

It's really not as conspicuous as I thought it would be.  At long range, it looks dark just like the original.  Closer in, it's actually harder to see because it blends in with its own wake.  And of course, it should blend in QUITE well with MG splashes :D
