Skyscrapper A Sq 9 497BG SN 42-24599.





Not sure if HTC will accept it since I was unable to locate a picture of the tail of the aircraft.  I followed other 29s from that squadron tail markings.  I chose not to do the front gear dust cover as I couldn't really make out what it was.

History on "Sky Scrapper"

Completed 29 missions;

On November 27, 1944, At 0005 Hours two G4M bombers attacked Saipan, destroying Z Square 1, serial number 42-24659, a Boeing B-29-40-BW Superfortress of the 877th Squadron, 499th Bomb Group, 73rd Bomb Wing. At 1210 Hours, seventeen A6M Zero fighters from Iwo Jima also attacked Saipan. They caught B-29s that were still loaded with bombs and fuel on ground after they aborted the 73rd's mission to Tokyo. All Japanese were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery or fighters, but they destroyed A Square 9 "Skyscrapper," serial number 42-24599, a Boeing B-29-40-BW Superfortress, 869th Squadron, 497th Bomb Group; T Square 10, serial number 42-63428, a Bell-Atlanta B-29-15-BA Superfortress, 873rd Squadron, 498th Bomb Group; and V Square 42 "Hell's Bells," serial number 42-63438, a Bell-Atlanta B-29-15-BA Superfortress, 879th Squadron, 499th Bomb Group

  I have been looking for info on this one my self. No luck either.

[5PointOh]

It was so unusual, I couldn't resist.

Bring the nose art out a little bit more. Just looks too "faded". Otherwise it looks great!

The black & whites are faded though on the nose art? I think he may have it right.

did you see what i did there?

i used one word and coppied it and added the same word behind it to create somthing exactly the same as the word above it that could be characterized as slightly different.

The materials files on bare metal planes screw with the color quality. You will have to make the image so that the end result looks right, NOT so that the bitmap you test in-game looks right in the editing software.

You'll have to really bring it out on the default materials.txt settings to get the right in-game needs.

And no, looking at the B&W it doesn't look very faded. It looks solid and clearly defined.

Excellent help there Fester...it means the world to me. I guess you start all over for every skin that have simular color scheme?

Perhaps the fading on the "mouth" is heavy. To me the first couple of letters in each of the words look very worn and faded.

oh snap

[Citabria]

you can compare a skin that was done from scratch fully researched from standing in front of a real b25c to whatever it is you posted above and think its the same thing but its not.

and just keep in mind that HTC got tired of letting sub par skins in as placeholders so you might actually want to put some effort into just one skin that isn't a turd instead of 10 versions of one turd with a different nose art decal.

Again thanks for the awesome feedback. Well the oh master, tell me were to improve, verse making snide remarks from the comfort of your home.  If you don't like my skins that fine.  But if can't seem to put some useful feedback in, go somewhere else and get the hand out of you arse.

its a big grey blob

Is that all you have?
