CAF Skins
« on: May 27, 2020, 01:52:26 PM »
Hi Gents,
Was wondering if anyone is interested in doing some skins for the CAF.

These are the planes they asked for.

That thought crossed my mind as well, but this is HiTech.  He'll make the room for the skinner that chooses to do the 51B. :D

I can skin the C-47 and the B-29 but I don't have a template for the P-51.

I don't think these are for the MA. IIRC "Fifi" was an original name applied after its restoration so as its not a WW2 plane it wouldn't qualify anyway. Most likely these are for the new CAF game. So am I right to assume these skins should look like the photos, with CAF logos and fresh shiny paint etc? Should I just email them to the support page when they are done?

Gawd, I hope they don't make us put the "Tramp Stamp" on them!    :D

The Mustang is ready save for the nose art and the yellow stripes around the cowling behind the spinner.    Those are proving a bit touchy.    The scheme is similar to Betty Jane.

This has saved me a lot of time drawing wing stripes.

Yes like the CAF plane.

OK, I'll get started on the CAF skins and email them to the support address when they are done. Do you need these by a particular date?

There's some reasonable photos of the original WW2 "That's All Brother" on the web so I can use that as a reference for a dirtied up version of the skin for the MA.

Remember you are making the CAF plane not a ww2 version of the caf plane.

That begs the question how to deal with the metal.   Most of their planes are painted, including those that should be NMF.
