Title: R.T. Smith's Tomahawk
Post by: Widewing on May 07, 2005, 05:31:14 PM

This skin turned out ok, but the mirrored wheels puts the wheel design on both sides. I may submit it, or simply wait until the P-40s get reworked graphics... That might take a year or more.

So, what do you guys think, submit it or sit on it?

It looks very nice!   Fester has one P-40E with the mirrored hub cap problem so that is not a big deal.

There must be a trick you can use to clean up the fuselage graphic though.   Have you tried the 'sharpen' filter (if you are using Photoshop, anyway).   The shark mouth came out nice and clear but the female image is kind of blurry.

btw Fester posted a P-40 template at the custom skins site - I don't see any rivets on this bird but if you want a rivet layer you could get it from the template pretty quick.

It's a very minor detail. Heck when doing the 109E I had to deal with greater inaccuracies! :) Submit-away!
