Tried it out and it rings true.   Absent evidence to the contrary that's what I will go with.


(Ignore the horizontal stab.  I was trying various shades to see how they look so it is very "spotty".)


All I have to say is that if this P-51 gets added it will be my skin of choice I'm digging the yellow tail!  :cheers:

Thanks, man.  I am trying.  My bud "Grapetang" Loo is doing the one with the band on the fuselage and it looks amazing.

Could be Lemon Yellow on the same chart. Tough to tell.

Gonna try that color, too.  May as well.

Okay I am home sick and am in so much pain I can't even sleep.   Gonna' post this question then go back to bed.   :cry

Just aft of the fuselage insignia the software "bends" the skin and creates a crease.  Is this my vid card or is it just the way things are?   What can I do to minimize that?   Is it a color blending technique or something?

Getting a lot closer now.  :)

I am still befuddled by some things but I will just have to work my way up to it...

Finally figured out how to make the flap and aileron gap lines.  Also blended the base of the canopy.   All I have left are the fuselage and wing panel lines, lower left nose cleanup, and metalizing of the skin.

You've done well.  Much better than you did merging to kill my ME262 recently  :neener:


Did you get your namesake's plane skinned yet?

Lol!  Well that wasn't a high bar to clear, sir, so not sure how much of a compliment that even is.  Lol!

Vraciu's plane is already in the game I believe.  #19.
