Title: My last 190A8 - Jgr 10
Post by: Krusty on December 01, 2005, 02:12:11 PM
Love that snake baby!

This is the last A8 I plan to do (3 total) because the rest of the paint schemes don't grab my attention like these ones have.

Okay here's the deal. I need opinions. There was a whole selection of aircraft that had this snake, but I also found one where JGr 10 loaned a plane to 8./JG300, and they overpainted the tail and markings.

I whipped up a quick profile (the paint isn't complete, it would have some paint covering the areas painted over) and need opinions which I should skin:

Can't you do them both? :D

Well, having to choose... it's hard, but... ok, Red 11!

I could do them both, but they're pretty close to identical.

Red 11 for me. ;)

Krusty while i'm not a huge fan of lw iron,  I think yhe JGr 10 is better looking.

It just looses something with the stripes.

8./JG300... I like that blue/white/blue-band there better than the tail in "Rot Elf".

Aye that has the approval of myself but from KT himself if he were here on this virtual earth would approve of such a beauty.

Which one are you referring to? JGr 10 or JG300?

Lord Krusty.  IMHO, Red 11.  Either that ewe do will be stellar of course  :aok

Close one so far. 4 for Jgr 10 and 3 for JG300 (counting myself, as I'm torn but leaning toward that one).

I'll leave the post up for a bit and come back the skin when I get a few more votes.

I like the one with the blue band.

And I do fly the A8 a bit.   Only 69 kills and 14 deaths, but still a great ride.

It was my second favorite plane other than the Spit16 last month.

And I did better in it than with the Spit16.

I know the snake will be my favorite skin no matter what on you choose :)

Sweet! :aok :aok

I gotta admit Krusty.  I didnt expect this much division.  I figured one would overwhelmingly win.:confused:

Mostly Ds & A5s for me, but 190s are all sexy beasts.

Red 11. :aok

The first one. Good job on both, though.

Post by: Wilbus on December 02, 2005, 08:32:13 AM
I would like both as they are failry identical, shouldn't take too much longer to do both should it? Would HTC accept them? They should as there are two nearly identical JV44 Doras (although made by different people).

If I can only chose one, it is Red 11 as the snake covers the whole plane and doesn't get interupted by the markins.

Title: both
Post by: Nr_RaVeN on December 02, 2005, 08:48:06 AM
11=12 both are nice I kinda like the whole snake the way the tail sweeps looks really good

Jgr10.  They're both nice, but I like the way the snake goes the length of the plane on Red 11.

Well I only wanted to do one really. I'm somewhat against nearly identical skins. However... Seeing that people are so divided on it (with the tally leaning toward "red 11") I might do both. I just hadn't planned on it.

Post by: Wilbus on December 02, 2005, 12:44:43 PM
Well replan!! :D

Or if you can't replan, do Red 11!

Now, I have spoken and all must obey!

*smacks Wilbuz around a bit*

"SNAP OUTTA IT!!"

Whew... that was close, you were having delusions of grandeur again! :P


I'll see if I can do both and make the JG300 one look different. The profile I've got is small but it seems to have darker camo on the fuselage sides.

Post by: Krusty on December 03, 2005, 02:33:21 PM
Okay I've done some work to differentiate the two versions (so they are not identical). The decal sheet profile for the JG300 craft (blue stripes) shows denser camoflague and darker coloration on the sides. It also has slightly different green/grey camo demarcations on the upper fuselage. I also found a clearer scan of the decal sheet that shows the tail of the snake continues underneath the tail band.

Oh yeah, so .. heh... my point is this:

Are these different enough to warrant submitting both? Or should I just submit Red 11 (which had the most votes) ?
Title: My last 190A8 - Jgr 10
Post by: Lord ReDhAwK on December 03, 2005, 05:04:09 PM
I think different enough for both Krusty.  I voted for Red11, but like them both.  I think the arena will as well.  Keep in mind though sir, its easy for us to say that as you are the one skinnin it :)

Krusty, great job on both.  Great skin to be in the game either way.

My vote is red 11 though.
Title: My last 190A8 - Jgr 10
Post by: Krusty on December 03, 2005, 07:07:02 PM
Well I'll submit them, then. We'll see what HTC says! :)

Post by: SkyChimp on December 03, 2005, 07:46:11 PM
I wouldn't submit both all we see are the wings so why submit both when they cam looks the same
Title: My last 190A8 - Jgr 10
Post by: Krusty on December 03, 2005, 07:48:31 PM
You might only see the wing from the inside, but when looking back you'll see the tail bands, in external views (if available) you'll know what you're in, and in other planes flying next to you you'll be able to see the difference.

Their the same lol go find a nice a8 and do it!:eek: :p

Post by: Krusty on December 03, 2005, 07:55:46 PM
I've done all the A8s I'm gonna do. No more interest me. Got any suggestions?
Title: My last 190A8 - Jgr 10
Post by: Wilbus on December 04, 2005, 03:13:22 AM
Doesn't really matter what is seem from the inside.

The most common Dora is probarly the one from JV44 thanks to the "Papagei Staffeln" paint scheme (red white belly). Can't see the belly but it looks awsome when ya meet one in the air.
