Kev,

Read your posts on AHskinnig site regarding pre-shading the camo paint.

When you make your cloud layer, do you set a specific value on the dimensions of the clouds?  GIMP allows you to set between 1 and 16.  I've tried a couple of different sizes but haven't put them on a plane to see how they look.

Not sure if the one I use allows you to set cloud sizes.
If it does, I haven't changed it from the default.

Thanks,

I did one last night scaled to 16--makes the effect very dense, lots of smaller clouds.  I'll try scaling it down and see what the difference looks like.  I put the wing paint back on and it makes a slight difference--sort of mutes the color.   But, I think on those light blue's and grey's on the Navy planes, I might turn the opacity up from 30-40% to increase the effect.
