B-17s
« on: August 12, 2009, 08:23:21 PM »
I am going to "redo" the B-17s I did updating the panel lines and using some "new" techniques I have learned.

If anyone has one they would like done I can add another one in the midst of the process.  It will be a while but it will get done.

100BG/418BS looks like it could use some new paint. Also when you get done witht he B17's some of the 51D skins could use it too.

Eventually I intend to redo Ruby's Raiders, but not right now. Would appreciate if you left that one for me, otherwise if you don't want to wait for me to do it I understand.

I have NO intention of redoing yours or anyone else's skins.

Considering it's aluminum and there is no paint on it.. I must disagree.  Care to share which P-51s?

I think the 352nd FG for the 51D could use some updated panel lines and some better oil streaks on the nose.

Yeah I wish I could update all the P-51s I have done since they are 2.5 years old at the least.  I am just not sure that Skuzzy would allow it.  Heck he may not allow it for the B-17s.

Well there are always 15 other planes to fly.

Personally I would replace it with

Hmm... thats a good looking skin! I have seen those colors on the tail on other aircraft. Seems to be a popular design.

We of the 100th use the 1st skin of the list u made. 100/338 IIRC, and we like it very much! Good news you want to make it perfect. Moreover we found out the silver one being bad lucked, "miss conduct", probably because some of us got distracted by the painted lady: 
Quote from: ''100Coogn"
I almost crashed trying to look at the lady on the nose while landing

If you are willing to make another B-17 skin from the 100th I would like to use one of these, "squawkin hawk" or "nine little yanks and a jerk".

Keep up the good work Sir, very well done.  <S> :rock

Always liked this one although I don't think you can paint the sharks mouth on the chin turret.

That is correct Lyric.  I tried Flak Eater as my first 17 after the model was updated.  However, the stretching on the chin turrent will not allow anything to be placed without severe stretch.
