The 38J skin slots are full up, but had this one nearly completed and thought I could use the practice.

Like I said in our Utra Secret SAPP forum :noid
That will be my fulltime skin once it gets released, nice work!

Oooo... that's nice. Hopefully one of the barely different bare metal schemes is replaced by this one!
Your country markings don't look quite right to me, though. The USAAF bars look a little dark and a little saturated. They don't seem to have the same amount of wear that the rest of the paint does (and the paint job is outstanding).
They just look a little digital compared to everything else.
:aok

Xast, I think I see what you're talking about, but its too late I sent the skin in earlier this week. Appreciate your comments though - I'll try to make sure I destaurate the insignia more in future. Funny how the eye starts to overlook stuff after a while. It's there but I just didn't notice it, which is why I appreciate you guys' comments so much.
Here was the final submitted version, from a slightly different angle:

I know exactly what you mean. A fresh set of eyes will always see things differently.
You can always keep your reference number that you get with your acceptance email and just resubmit it for the next pack. :aok
I did that with the rivet opacity on my 190A5 and there is still something that needs to be changed too. :aok
I look forward to giving your skin a whirl, it looks great.

Awesome paint!
