56th FG "Pengie II" (WIP)
« on: September 05, 2013, 09:54:05 AM »
I actually have a question about the colour before I post any in-game photos or any progress photos. I don't want to use the online profiles because after the experience with the 109E colours I don't want to make the same mistake. So if someone could please give me some insight on what I should maybe do. I have searched the internet, for like an hour and fourty-five minutes and I can't seem to put my hand on one that I think is correct.  :bhead











Yes I am aware those are two different skins, one is the Pengie II the other is the Pengie III but they are based off the same colours. One just has evasion stripes on the belly.

-----------------------------------------------------
The swatches I typically use :

http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/page-RGB-colors-USA.html

They are on that website, and I have triple screen so I put the swatches on Screen 1 and leave photoshop on Screen 2 and I use the "paint drop" tool to take the exact colour from the swatch and I place it in photoshop and save the swatch.

I really need help :o before I make this skin completely wrong and make it the wrong colour.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I realize I colored the elevators/stab the wrong color. I don't know why I did that, guess I wasn't paying attention.  :furious

Still not sure if the main paint is the correct color but I am guessing it is.

For your colors start here: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/page-RGB-colors-USA.html

You need Olive Drab, Neutral Gray, Insignia Red, Insignia White, and Insignia Blue.

Another thing you need to do is pay attention to the size and placement of your national insignias. The insignias on the fuselage sides is way too far back from where they should be.

I just threw those on to get a look of how it may look, but thank you

That is Pengie V, with the blue circle surrounding the penguin. Pengie II was originally Pengie I, but the crew chief messed it up on accident. So they just stuck with Pengie II. :) But in the future he just progressively increased the number of his aircraft in numeral form.

Why is the bottom blue.

Cause it is supposed to be. . .

EDIT
I thought it was supposed to be white but I was on scribd and it showed it in a really light blue and the only explanation I could come up with was the Azura Blue color.
