B-24J "Chute the Works"

I've been trying, for the life of me, to figure out how to cut the shine from the B-24 skin. I was able to get a nice dull finish on the F4F and FM2 on skins I was working on for Rangoon but this puppy is obstinate.

Can't be done... yet.  Kev367th talked to Pyro and he said that in the future there will be a flag to set that will allow a lot of shine or no shine.  I think thats right, but not 100% sure.

Maybe Kev will reply with a more in depth answer.

There is a picture out there on the net of Chute The Works with a crew in front of it.

The guy kneeling down in the center (short sleeve shirt) was my Dad, 1Lt Bob Cutting.  I have that very picture hanging in my office.   Years ago he had written the names of the crew on the backerboard of the frame it was in but that unfortunately got lost.   If anybody knows any of the other great men in this picture please post their names. 

Thanks!

Welcome Rcutting.

Greebo (our game's best skinner) made an updated skin 2 years ago of your dad's plane. It's very well done.

Funny how the search results gave you the 20 year old post and not the one from only 2022.
