Skins under construction PUF

[Fencer51]

I'm doing a B-29 olive drab skin. Either "Ding How" or "Monsoon Goon" of the 444th. One problem I'm having is that it appears too shiny. Even the original B-29 does. Looking into dulling down. Any suggestions?

Grab the materials file from the P-47M, F4U-1D or any other painted skin.

Funny, my son (who is a graphic animator) and I just looked at that as the answer. Thanks for the help.

Making final adjustments and trimmings. Does it look ok?

Looking good, Maw.

Here's something I found while researching. Did you know that many B-29's dropped supplies into pow camps as soon as the war ended and had the underside labeled "POW SUPPLIES"

Anyway,  here's another one. El Pajaro de la Guerra ("The War Bird") of the 6th bomb group.

Don't think that nose art is white. May be yellow it is clearly different to the K-65 designation..

Well, actually i struggled over that. Hardest part to do. Saw pics (mostly B&W) that seem to suggest both. I think the lighting in the screenshot maybe making it brighter than it really is. I studied that exact same photo. If you look at the bottom of the plane that is grey, it seems to be the same. The K-65 actually is more of a white. So maybe I didn't make the K-65 bright enough.

Here's another one. Notice how close the underside is to the "Ding How" and the K-65 is practically white?



Here's another one of mine that's darker.

but isnt the K-65 suppose to be closer to that lil square to the side?
