You are going to have to give some angles were the aircraft can be seen.

Also note that HTC allows you to use their attach file option for 800x600 pics (one per post).  Might be easier to add more photos.

Looks interesting from what I could see.  Seems to still have the default nose on it though, might want to do your own so it blends with your skin.

Too clean and regular.

The upper paint is quite good. It needs to be scratched up a bit and stained here and there but you're probably not up to that yet.

One thing I did notice is your under-side... The panel lines are too stark, try dropping the opacity and adding a layer of dirt along the panel lines.

This will make them look less crisp.

I'm also not so sure about the panel lines you have going on the main landing gear covers. I've never seen any markings like that before.

You also have a few panels that don't quite match in colour un the underside, where the crosses are for example.

Looks good though :aok

Check the crosses on the dorsal side of the wings. There is a shadow of them rearward and to the left, making them look like theyre floating over the wing.

Title: Bf-109k4 JG53
Post by: Xasthur on February 02, 2008, 05:35:10 PM

:confused:   I don't see that, Serenity.....

I do think the MG soot over the nose recognition marking is too extreme. I've never seen soot trails extend that far along the nose before.

I also seem to remember reading that the ground crews were fairly dilligent with cleaning that soot off in order to prevent excess build up on the forward canopy.

Also bear in mind that said soot would have to fight against the prop wash to get there. Basically, I do not think the soot would have extended far past the gun recesses if at all.

Also, If I'm going to be realllly picky with you, the paint chips on the top of the fuselage seem a little out of place. Near the cockpit entry on th fuselage makes sense.... hasty entry for scrambles and whatnot but I can't think of anything but age that would cause the upper fuselage marks and it's a late-war aircraft.

The paint chips on the wing look good but maybe throttle them back on the top of the fuselage, iff you agree.

Your skin is looking great now though, well done.

I noticed, that weathering can make a big difference in realism. I cant tell you anything about the paint itself since im no expert in LW skins, but the details are starting to come along nicely!  Thats good lookin!

First off, apart from the slight colour oddness, nice changes, it's looking very good now.

RLM 82/83 should look more like this:

Thanks for that pic.


I agree, the club hyper colors are off.

Here's a good reference I like to use. Not the only one I use, but my first stop.

Post by: Xasthur on February 22, 2008, 07:54:16 AM

Try bluring the mottling on the vertical stabiliser a little bit.

Unless the photo you're working from shows that the blotches were very stark... that is.
