The G2 has some 'issues' that make it a bit tricky. All on the starboard side:

Section just behind prop needs to be raised 1 pixel for lines to )sort of) match. Still not a 100% perfect .

Fuselage section just aft of cockpit is a mirror of port side fuselge. Have to be careful about placing markings in this area as they get mirrored.

Section aft of above needs raising 3 pixels to match.

Whole texture aft of this is on a slightly different orientation to the port side. It 'drops' at least 5 pixels by the time it hits the tail.

Having said that.. Black 6 now pretty much done  :)

BTW, the black diamond with white border seems to be a faily sensible substitution for 'the symbol'.  Good idea whoever suggested that.

Some times it's a pain in the bum being a perfectionist. If I was sensible I'd stop work on this and go do something else. But... Now converting it to 1024x1024 and redoing the panel lines  :D

Will attach the current one

Love your work, Tilt. That stuff is going to be great for any Eastern Front scenarios. :) The Boston is awesome.

I think I might try my hand at this skinning malarkey.
