Looks good Artik.
I'm working on the bump map for the Avia(G-14) I've got in the works. Expect screenies soon.

Enjoy.
P.S. Artic, I just need to tweak a few things and then I'll have a file ready for download.

Damn that is a sharp looking skin D505. :aok

These skins are beautiful... :x and very detailed :rock
Small but important notices: the insignia on the wings points in the wrong direction. The star of david's tip on wings should point forward.
Also instead of the red cross there is a star of david on the door.
Take a look on my skins for 1948 (there is 109G6 reskinned as avia as well)

I noticed the stars as soon as I posted the pics. Funny how that happens where you overlook an obvious flaw, and only notice it when you've shown your work to others.

It happens...
Just for the record... in Kadesh event, 10 years ago I used totally wrong insignia (http://cppcms.com/kadesh/) - one that was in use after 1958. In 1956, it was the green one like of the REAF. And my Ar-234 that was reskinned as IL-28 was carried wrong insignia and all the web site was filled with marking that were in use later.
The strange thing, nobody noticed that... I hadn't seen anybody pointing to my obvious mistake (not even Israeli guys)

One more... Mosquito VI (not my best one but it is more than fine for SEA)
IAF 110 The Knights of The North Squadron
(http://cppcms.com/files/makeahmap/images/skins/IAF-mosquito6.jpeg)
Although Mosquito VI hadn't seen action in 1948 Independence War (only single Mosquito XVI was in IAF service during the war period),
they entered the service shortly after the war ened and they are good substitute for IAF Beaufighters that actually seen the action and are missing in AH
