If you want to hunt me down, download that skin, because that will be my default La5FN skin!

If there is one critique I could make, Zargos, the marker lights on wings and rudder have become black coloured instead of red, green and white.

You're right.

I'm sorry guys, but I've noticed some other bugs when I was making high res screenshots.

So I corrected them and uploaded the updated skins.

Now I hope there will be no other changes.

@Zargos,

 

thank you very much for this fine piece of art.

 

Errors happend, I found now that BOO is doing well in correcting flaws on the Bf-109 G6 template (So he is creating a template in a different style pretty good).

It is good to find and correct "errors", which then turn very good think in very, very, very, very good one's ;)

Zargos, will you be making some historical skins for the La-5FN?

I'm not sure to understand correctly.

Do you think there are some errors on my La-5FN template (wich is very likely ...) ? And do suggest that I ask BOO to give a look at my template ?

Of course ! Is is just a question of time.

@Zargos,

 

No, no, not you...

BOO helped me out to find errors I've made :)

 

Sorry for making that not clear enough!

Don't be sorry. I'm not upset.

I can also make mistakes and I'll be glad that anyone can find them.

Hello,

 

I've finished my skin of the La-5 from the 790 IAP.

Unfortunately (for you), I'm on hollidays in a remote house in the French Alps where the Internet connexion doesn't allow me to upload heavy files !

All I can do is to show you a low resolution screenshot, and ask you to wait until I'm back !

 

180501-LA5FN-001.thumb.jpg.8ee7c41314b47d1802069966405ec45e.jpg

 

See U soon !

Awesome skin! I'll be waiting here for it :)

Being on hollidays allows to spent more time at skining than usual ... so this is a new skin (almost finished) that I will release when I'm back :

 

180504-LA5FN-001.thumb.jpg.e2344a535fb4ac24491c5b45d77f706b.jpg

 

When I decided to make this skin from a profile found on the web, I didn't think to check the official skins ... I should have because this one is an official skin (but in 2k).

At least this skin is in 4k and has a different style.

 

I'll upload this one when I'm back as well.

 

See U soon.

Amazing work Zargos!!!!

 

what do you think about these two skins?

 

1) P-39N, Flown by Lt. DeVore, 110th TRS/71st TRG, Gusap airfield, New Guinea, spring, 1944.

You can find the 3-view of this skin here, in the instructions for the Eduard's P-39N/L model: https://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/8066.pdf

 

2) Bf109G-6/AS, Flown by Friederich - Karl Muller, 1./NJGr. 10, August 1944.

You can find the profile and an amazing 1/32 scale model here (warning: both the profile and the model are characterized by the swastika): https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=2256

Hi Kirk !

Thank you for your comment.

Well the two skins you suggest are really interresting, especially the Bf109 one.

I write them on my "to do list".

But I don't know when I'll make them ... I've so many other skins waiting.

And there are only 24 h in a day.

:unsure:

Thanks!

I've used your skin to replace the official 2K one by renaming it to la5fn_skin_07.dds

Ive just finished collecting/compiling (call it what you will) these beautiful skins. Works of art!! So grateful for your work Zargos and the effort you put into the little details like weathering - inspirational!

 

Thank you!

Hello RaFiGer

Yes I did but I didn't take time to answer it.

Unfortunately I don't have time to start any skin for the moment.

By the way I also have an edition of this book but the icongraphy is different and it seems that my book doesn't feature the beautiful profile you've posted.

I need to check that.

Hello dear pilots.

 

I'm currently very busy at work and with personnal issues as well, and I've no time left for skinning.

Then my projects for the Bf109G-6 skins (and other planes as well) are postponed for a while.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

 

Cheers.

Does this mean you won't be skinning the Spit IX anytime soon?

Oh no !

I've planed to make at least 2 Spit IX in 4K : Pierre Closterman's and René Mouchotte's

It is just a question of time.

Hello everybody,

 

While Talon is working on adapting ICDP Spit.V weathering, I've just started my own weathering for the plane of René Mouchotte.

It is just the begining ...

Hello dear pilots,

 

I'm happy to release the skin of the Spitfire Mk.IX of Cdt. René Mouchotte (mind that in the real life his plane was a Mk.IXc).
