Title: 800 Squadron RNAS
Post by: 5PointOh on October 06, 2009, 03:24:26 PM

I remember there used to be a skin for the F6F with invasion stripes. Since the redo of the F6F, it had not been redone as far as I know...

So I re did E-W of the 800 RNAS

looks like you went a little heavy on the gun streaks IMO. Sexy skin though.

I like the overall skin, and the little details like the red ring on the nose really make it attractive.

I think you went too far on the weathering, though. Looks like a plane that sat in the sun for 10 years.

Thanks Krusty,

I turned off the layer that caused so much weathering (I used a 128,128,128 Grey overlay layer, with noise, and a glaussion blur). I also adjusted the panel line shadowing...

Oh I also adjusted the pilots uniform to reflect RAF.
