Feathered_IV Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) This is one of my favourite Soviet schemes: Major Petr Afanasevich Pokryshev's White-50, 154 IAP 1942. You can never have too many fifties. http://www.mediafire.com/download/b6nnr5bzzg9hlza/Petr_Afanasevich_Pokryshev_154_IAP_1942.dds Edited October 4, 2015 by Feathered_IV 8
Cryptonomica Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks for all your hard work guys! The skins are all great
Bullets Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Great skins designs guys but I feel some people are making the colours too bright and unrealistic
9./JG27golani79 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 There was also a cool little P40 that flew that day. I'd love to do this one, but I'm so busy and I know it will sit there, half done for half a year. 9./JG27golani79, since you have lots of details done for the flying tigers, do you think this one is worth your time? I hadn´t planned on doing another P-40 yet so if anyone else wants to give it a go just go ahead.
=TIA=TBear Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 So Bullets...suggestions to make them real?...do U have "real" RGBs or HEXes to suggest? Mine are from here http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/index.php?page=RGB-colors-UK
Feathered_IV Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Great skins designs guys but I feel some people are making the colours too bright and unrealistic Is mine okay? I'm red/green colour blind... 1
Brano Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Is mine okay? I'm red/green colour blind... Your ''brown'' is more ''green'' so it looks like dark/light green camo.But I do not know how to tell you what to change in your color perception Edited October 4, 2015 by Brano
Bullets Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah I like your skins reflected, nice shade of white on the nose
VBF-12_Stele Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Col. Robert L. Scott - P-40E. I believe there were several types of skins; this is the serial 11456. Also, for the life of me, I could not get the shark mouth to line up in the front. Anyone have a photoshop file they can share with me? https://www.dropbox.com/s/nkf0eb2lahcqidr/P40EBobScott.dds?dl=0 Edited October 4, 2015 by VR_Stele 2

Dave Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Yes, i would like to see 112th squadron in the desert with the sharkmouth and red spinner I've just done Clive Caldwell's P40-E AK-772. I'll get some screens and post when I get home. Edited October 5, 2015 by Dave
Dave Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Is mine okay? I'm red/green colour blind... If you are editing in Photoshop use the RGB or CMYK values instead of trusting your eyes. There are a few sites which list the standard allied colours.

Yankee_One Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I've just done Clive Caldwell's P40-E AK-772. I'll get some screens and post when I get home. Thats fantastic. That was on my mind, Caldwells P-40. I have the decals in 1/32. Cant wait to see the desert shark!
Reflected Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Is mine okay? I'm red/green colour blind... I'm also red-green color deficient. Therefore I spend an awful lot of time comparing colors with the color swatch in photoshop. I hope my skins are not far off
Dave Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Found some time last night to attempt my first skin. Its still a little rough in places but it'll do for the time being. 112SQN P40 Kittyhawk 1A AK-772 - SQNLDR Clive Caldwell. Yes the dodgy paint job is deliberate. 112SQN's P40s arrived in Egypt painted in the standard western front camouflage scheme of Dark Green and Dark Earth on Sky S. The squadron gave them a field refinish by painting over the Dark Green with Middle Stone and the Sky with Deep Sky Blue. Edited October 5, 2015 by Dave 9
Dave Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Great skins designs guys but I feel some people are making the colours too bright and unrealistic The correct colours will tend to be super-saturated when viewed on sRGB monitors unless you compensate for it.
Bullets Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Really nice skin dave! And don't worry I understand what you are saying. What I was saying falls outside of this though, I just think some of the colours used in a few of the skins in this thread are much to bright and fluorescent (for my taste anyway) each to our own!
Pierre64 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Very nice Warhawk, Dave And my new attempt to improve this amazing P-40 : "diamond" (or losange) tread tires (WIP) 4
Feathered_IV Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks guys for the critique on mine. I'd sampled the colours using the eye dropper tool directly from the side profile I used as reference, then dialled back the saturation by 20%. Looks like the side profile was a bit off. This evening I found a better version in my Volume 3 of Black Cross Red Star. I'll look at doing an improved version soon. 1
Bullets Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Great work Pierre! Worth sharing so everyone can use those beauties!
4SCT_Vespa Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Very nice Warhawk, Dave And my new attempt to improve this amazing P-40 : "diamond" (or losange) tread tires (WIP) P-40Tires.jpg Lovely detail Pierre
Bullets Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Oh and dave, is that being released? I really like what you have done there!
Bullets Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 White 56 is done - and there are also two winter variations of the skin which I´ve done on my own so the winter skins are not historical. Hope you like them nontheless - enjoy! Alle 3 skins in one .rar archive - DL link at the end of this posting.

BP_Iceman Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Hello pilots.I have some additional P-40 ( original version N) Total interest marking the anchor and spade. I found two sources markings, unfortunately no pictures. At sources is a contradiction in the inscription, so I gravitated to the source of most probable - decals from AML company.P-40N , No 8,7.IAP Black Sea Fleet,July 1944 Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5b1i8xgd0lhtgue/P40E1_No8_7IAP.dds 2

9./JG27golani79 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Golani your tire texures are bugged, where you have tried to add a pattern on the tire it has deleted that paint layer and its invisible, you can see through the tire at those points Thanks for letting me know that the tires still were bugged - checked again and found out that I´ve apparently used a wrong DXT setting. Should be fixed now and it´s working for me (checked it in the viewer and in the game). Please let me know if there still are issues left.

Boomerang Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Hi everyone, More time spent on these two files uploaded previously. I'm glad to have read the community are sharing honest opinion's here. When I first did this skin, I for one must admit I didn't really pay that much attention to the colour and tones, (especially the black and white tones), so thank you for that. Changes: P-40E1_USAAC_Roundel is a little lighter and richer than the P40E1_USAAC_roundel_2 file. Both files have been cleaned up as much as possible and further Alpha tweaks where made. Link: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/c7aycv4ku5vmp/Plane_Skins It's good to see so many community members are doing skins for our game, very much appreciated. Screenshots: Regards, Boomerang 5
Lusekofte Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I have downloaded some of the skins from here, many thanks for your contribution and time , I want you to know I appreciate this very much. Many thanks
Dave Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Very nice Warhawk, Dave And my new attempt to improve this amazing P-40 : "diamond" (or losange) tread tires (WIP) P-40Tires.jpg Cool - I didn't think of that Oh and dave, is that being released? I really like what you have done there! I guess so. I was going to complete 112SQN using the few photos and records I have. I will host in on my skin-server. (I'm working on a skin-management idea I hope to get Jason to consider).
bivalov Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I found two sources markings, unfortunately no pictures. At sources is a contradiction in the inscription, so I gravitated to the source of most probable - decals from AML company. P-40N , No 8,7.IAP Black Sea Fleet,July 1944 yes, most likely, this is exactly P-40N "За Сафронова!" from 7 IAP.
Dave Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks for letting me know that the tires still were bugged - checked again and found out that I´ve apparently used a wrong DXT setting. That reminds me. It was difficult for me to find information on how to produce a DDS texture. I am a Mac and Linux user who only runs Windows for games. If you are doing this stuff on a Mac like me, this workflow seems to work: - Edit PSD in Photoshop, GIMP or your editor of choice which supports PSDs (I use CS4) - Flatten the image after checking layer order and visibility (hide the wires layer) - Export as a TIFF preserving the alpha channel - Convert to DDS format (use DXT 5 in settings) using Graphic Converter
