Yeah.  I caught that some months ago and those photos were one of my sources.   I think the old default had a few minor errors like that which led us astray.   Nothing major though.

Fantastic!

Anyway I can convince you to do the earlier version with full invasion stripes?

[Vraciu]

Those stripes tend to accentuate the polygon shape of the upper wing.   A single black stripe on each would look good though.    Can't recall if he ever flew it like that though.

The version here is the aircraft after he returned from a mission where he shot down 5 planes while suffering a hangover...   

This mustang had the most kills scored in it than any other.

Maybe its just the monitor I'm viewing it on but the blue on those F4Us seems to have a purplish tint to me.

My end as well.

Ah. Very cool story.


The Dora looks nice, but I would desaturate the brown a good bit. It is too bold.

The Corsairs all look too purple to me and the color on the top two also looks too bold. Also, the canopy frames are not weathered like the fuselages are, it looks odd.

My end as well.

I concur.

On my old Acer laptop from 2008 they look fine for whatever that's worth.  They have a purple hue on my iPad and desktop.

If you have good color perception (I don't), then try this.  Make an image the size of your monitor.  In the mage do a gradient running from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.  The starting color should be white, the ending color should be black.

View the image and see if there is anything other than a shade of gray across the screen.  All monitors default to a color temperature (9000K to 9500K) which should show a blue cast in areas of the image.

If you can adjust the color temperature of your monitor, it should be set to around 6500K.

They look OK on my newer hp notebook, but definitely have a purplish hue on in gaming machine monitor.

Interesting.

Hmmmmmmm.    Sounds like something we all should try.

Took a peak on my design computer at work, they look purple and very bold there too.
