Now that I'm nearing completion with this one I'll make a new thread for this.

This is my first skin so I am very open to any and all suggestions/criticisms with regard to anything in the skin no matter how big or small.

Left fuselage is almost done... needs a few tweaks here and there.

The right side isn't finished yet, obviously but it's nearly there.

The paint still needs to be scratched up and chipped a bit and I'm going to put a row of rivets along the leading edges like in TrueKill's A5 skin as I've seen a few things that indicate that they should be there (and it would make sense).

Anyway, any input would be great.

Cheers

Looking good!

2 Things IMO:

- I would tone down the white rivets a bit.
- Get some weathering on that thing, make it look war-tired!

.

I really like those JG26 planes.

Nice skin, she needs to get a bit dirty though, she's brand new!

Just watched an episode of dog fights about the Tuskegee airmen in a battle with 190's it was the same skin as your plane. Off topic I know. Sorry.

I think the skin was really NICELY done, better then my first! (compliment to you sir on your artwork)

I think I'm finished now:

Anything? Any small details at all?

Cheers.

I would look at making the '13' blend in some, maybe blue the edges a bit and reduce its opacity. It seems to stand out compared to the Cross next to it.

I cannot believe I am going to say this, but it looks too clean. Some oil leaks, hydraulics, a little smoke at the casing ejection ports, some dirt on it some where something to make it appear to be 'used'.

A fine looking skin though, I will be happy to shoot at it!

Thank you, Fencer.

I'll make some changes shortly.

Ok, advice taken into account and alterations made:

I think that just about covers it.

If no one has anything to nit-pick (and please do so if you've spotted something) I'm ready to submit it pending another check over tomorrow night.

Cheers for the input guys
