P-40 "white #7"

[ink]

Ink,  To use bright with Gimp.

Save > replace > export (merge visible layers)>  click on the advanced options, and select 24 bit.

Then go to the file and double click the Bright Icon. (you are saving the bmp in the same folder as bright aren't you?)

Cheers.

I have the image in the 24 bit folder, I have a version of "bright" that has a GUI when I say for it to "run bright" it gives me an error..."could not find file" or something like that 

Look at the difference:

K has a sorta triangular stacks. E's has more rounded like the B/C.  It is  possible that Scotts E could have a replacement Allison in it.

Scott actually had a few different planes, his most famous is "Old Exterminator" which I believe was a K......when he flew with the AVG, he had an E,  this is the plane I am doing.

"Old Exterminator" Is a name given by Scott it was never on his plane/s and it was a E, and the plane you are trying to do.
This is Scotts #7 Old Exterminator.

Not that I know how they did the repeated painting, but I'm thinking they'd just take off the hub and dunk it in some bad bellybutton chemical they didn't know was bad for them, or sandblast,  before applying a new coat? Can't imagine a pilot wanting too many coats of what is basically extra weight on their plane.

in as many combat sorties as he had I would doubt that....I can not say though for certain.....i think it would be cool to show a bit of blue, under the paint but a lot less then the way it came out, well it looks good on the BMP, better anyways, he was known for this I really want to show that...sounds......I don't know silly...... but he thought it was worth doing, I should think it be worth bringing out in the skin.


although I put down the P 40 skin for a bit..(taken a bit of advice there )..I have been feverishly working the "Big Mac Junior" P51....

got "Bright" working.....thanx a lot man appreciate it

definitely makes a difference

some screens.....not looking for critique, as I was just messing around, trying different ways to make it look metal, thought it looks cool, I will be using a similar approach for my metal layers from now on....

also a quick peek at one of the 51's I"m doing

Well all I can say to that and the P40E in the picture on that site: get a few books, get into your subject, this is a pretty big Dood you bit off to ad your version of history too, hear him , and by all means listen to the "Skipper".

Good Luck,

haha is that an E.....haha that's too funny, I cant tell the difference...... even though I should.

but that is definitely not the only site that says he had a K...when he became the CO of the 23rd he had an E...and then moved to a K......I have not read his book yet I definitely want to, and will pick it up as soon as I can.

too many sites talk about him painting his spinner for it not to be true, and not one site have I found disagrees with that or says otherwise....he was never in the AVG, he flew with them yes, but as a guest only........


I am "getting into my subject" as much as I can, I very much appreciate what these guys did...


Lastly..... I am not "adding my version of history"      why would you say that



I am trying very hard to do him and his plane justice

Glad you got Bright working   I like your Bare Metal effect as well.   Its looking pretty good.

Thank ya man, there is definitely a difference.....seems to do it with less pixelation....still get some, but its a very nice alternative
