Thanks guys !! Beat it up alittle more added the name plate and "broom" markings. Added a layer of dirt over the whole thing. Submitted it at the skin site and to HT.

Oboe when you finish "Kansas" post it up. See if between the two of us we can come up with a D11 wallpaper thingy.

With your aluminum skin work, I can't wait to see a D40 :D

Presentation screeny. Baltic map stock terrain background. Seperated the sky from
the terrain and desaturated the sky.

For the terrain I clicked "auto levels" under the "adjust" options in PS. Then desaturated
and fiddled with "color" adjustments. Added motion blur with an additional blur to the background
and brought back the sky and merged them.  Sharpened the plane layer and merged the picture.

Their stock terrain rock !! When the terrain geeks get a hold of the terrains, it's gonna be
reeeeel pretty.

I'm out of planes :(

Thanks guys, I'm out of planes, but a couple of Osprey books are on the way and Guppy your an invaluable resourse. Have any shots of Bostwick's 47M's late war wing camo ??????

To me the Jug is the sexiest A/C ever built, the FW-A series a close second along with the late war 109's. But no one beats those planes up.

Love to do a Spit V all beat up like that one shot Guppy posted on another thread, heavy on exhaust burns with oil steaks. I spend all my ingame time flying them. Flyin that skin would rock !!

Thebest, work out your panel and rivit lines and send me a mail. Have a couple of examples for you to play with. Panel and rivits are on you, sort of a right of passage ;)

Ponies...

Nah.. I'm out of pink paint :D

Doh!   I just realized both Touch of Texas and Kansas Tornado II are from the same squadron/FG.   Wierd.   Guess they had a thing for geography in that unit...
