Interesting wartime Greek flown Spit Vc on the Hyperscale forums.  It would definately be different.

Yeah I know it's a tropical Vc :)  But might just work since all we have is a Vb?

nice, but somehow kev i dont think the nose looks too great :(

i dunno, but i think it looks a little too shiny and its just one flat colour. i know that it's an antiglare paint, and that the shine comes from the txt file because of the bare metal...

but, is there anything that could possibly be done to the cowling? perhaps some dirt or something, it just seems to look a little odd when it's a flat black:(

other than that i gotta say that metal effect is amazing!:O

Lol

Tried tidying up a little -

Made blue on the roundels darker
Bottom edge anti glare slightly lower
Redid the horiz stabs metal
Control surfaces now aluminum 'doped' color.

Problem is with the shiny effect, unless we ever get the option to control 'shinyness' with alpha layer reflectivity map it's always gonna look like that.
Any dirt on it would be shiny also.
I will try and vary the black color, see if it helps.

Germans tried it, didn't work then either :) .

Anyway, think this is it, can't do much more with the black on the nose without it looking yeuck.
