Progress shots for review.  Still need to weather, chip, leaks, and other tweeks such as rudder shadow and gun bay handles.

It may just look dark in those shots, but I'd say brighten up the bare-metal portions a bit, seems it was kept pretty clean.

Another shot. Very bright looking bare aluminum, even indoors.

Hrm....



[EDIT: It won't let me put it in as an image, it's the image of the plane outside 2 posts up (click the link for image)]

Looks like 2 different colors before and after the cockpit.

Perhaps it used a darker shade for the anti-glare? Maybe black? Maybe just a darker shade of green?

I will see what I can find Krusty, yet all the artwork by Wade Meyers has it as OD as do all the profiles in the Aircraft of the Aces series.

I would trust Meyers on this as he is a 4th FG devotee.

I gotta redo the ID stripes on the wings, they are not wide enough and I need to move them outboard as well.

It could be nothing. It could just be part of the photo is fading more than another. It just struck me odd when I saw it.

Great work Fencer.

Some more pics of the Kidd. Won't help much in the skin dept. though. The last pic is a shot of a P-47. Maybe he had a date with Susan that night? Looks like it was chalked on maybe?

Artist Troy White has done some good work on The Kidd.

I'm not sure what you mean. I never really looked at it that much in-game.

What's wrong about it? Inaccurate? Bad colors? Poor weathering? What don't you like?
