Aaaahhhhh.... That might explain it!

Thanks Ink. That was really going to bug me without SOME answer. 

I was personally suspecting where it mentions crash damage and being rebuilt that maybe it flipped over and they replaced it with a hacked off rear deck.... But that wouldn't include the rear windows most likely. In that fanciful solution they'd more likely have rebuilt it from sheet metal.

Now I know!

I had said that I did greebo's suggestion and I am very happy with the results from that, then I went and did what Krusty said with the Antialaising for the roundels, plus I made them huge and shrunk them down....also tweaked the Glare panel, krusty was right it has a lower slope that what I did at first.

I have to admit this plane is my favorite one so far that I have done, minus the original KI skin(which I got an accepted Email today about ) still love that one.

anyways here are some pics....

I also want to say THANX for ALL who commented and critiqued....couldn't do it with out you guys. 

Just beautiful Mate, one thing though, I was just looking at the picture you posted for it on the "skins under construction" thread, on that there is a rectanglar dark area, which isn't represented on your skin.  just saying is all.

Congrats on the Ki Skin.

thanx...I noticed that,   was not sure what that was...possibly a replacement panel


I decided not to put it in

Turns out your plane had some nose art & some paint work added at a later point in time.
The first link is an old book I have & it was not sure what the serial number is.



Close up of the nose art.



At some point some one found the correct serial number & I have found a company that is making decals withe the same serial number.

I was working on this one with FTJR & I told him about the serial number I found with the decals & he pointed out you had done an early version of this plane.

So if you want to spruce it up I think you have enough to do it.
