Viper, she starts to look good, but you are not done yet :D

It si not because you are putting stripes that you are done. On the nose, wings, fuselage, you put the stripes but you should still see the rivets/panel lines shouldn't you? Here I posted a picture as an example. On the white or the black you stll see rivets'panel lines.

You also should make the botomg wing stipes and top wing stripes match. It is a pain with the current editor, as it's trial and erroe, on the P47-D25 the wings have something funky where the top and bottom don't have the same scales. So what u need to do is paint the bottom, and physically counts the pixels you are off ona screenshot (yeah ... thanks)
I'm sorry I cannot give you the Gabby's D25 stripes as it's one of the rare P47 that had the stripes centerred on the middle of the wing, not starting at the wing root.

On the file I gave you, you also need to correct some imperfections :
- the R2800 oil cooler air intake missing some pixels of grey (easy, copy the original on it).
-  the left wingtip, you need to errase the black of the wing shape on a couple of pixels.
- the wings filets are not grey.

Hey ... who thought making a skin was just painting some stuff on a thing and way "wooooow ... voila!":D

Hope this help, let me know what u think.

Frenchy, You didn't do the jug skin in layers? Should be dead easy to paint stuff underneathe the panel lines/rivets.

I'ts REALLY useful to do all skins in layers.

Anyone who want an example. I've got the Martlet III skin I did hosted with full layers, But you'll have to email me to get the addy. Its 5mb.

When I started I  used "step by step" because I could achieved a better effect. I wasn't using layers, but I had the same in different files. I could find an effect I liked in layers, even if it requires me to work over the finished merge to have the effect I want.

I'm doing an A5 completly layereed and redoing the Gabby in layer too.

I'm learning :D
