new Spitfire WIP skins

[Tom_Weiss]

I am going to remake all my 30 or so DCS Spitfire skins I made recently  - this is going to be the first:

I reworked the excellent template that released and this is the my base template that I'll use

the specular alpha  template is still set for a clean template, as I weather it, it will become more matt.

Looks almost photo realistic! Good luck!!!

 

[Tom_Weiss]

Thanks !!!

 

a matt paint  surface test

[Diggun]

More spitfire skins is goooood! Looks great.

[Tom_Weiss]

 

I've tweaked it so that it tones down the reflection while preserving shine and a matt surface

[Tom_Weiss]

a bit more tweaked ...

[DD_APHill]

Matt & shine, great work that is very realistic when we compare it with a period colour photo of a Spitfire in the same camo.

 

Again great work, look forward to it

Yep, really liking what you have done with calming down the "wet". Very realistic looking. thank you for you hard work!

[Tom_Weiss]

 

base weathering layer added and I set the colors

[Tom_Weiss]

Weathering is complete - now I'll add a grey/green camouflage to verify that the camouflage works in other background colors

Do you happen to make also some russian spitfire skins? Those you present here are really great, and I really would love to see some russian spitfires with this love to detail. 

[Tom_Weiss]

released half a dozen

Nice skins on the spitfire their great but i found a little bug the bullseye is a little off center on one of the skins and i think on the early spitfires the under carage was the same color as the cockpit not that zink color 

 

[Tom_Weiss]

thanks for the heads up - I've updated both skins

It's been a long time since I did that template for A2A, I don't remember doing Zinc coloured undercarraige.

 

In service Spitfire wheel wells and UC tended to be painted whatever the underside colour was.  So sky, light grey, or black and white (early Mk Is) for example.  Though there is some evidence interior parts were meant to be painted aluminium, the confusion stems from the fact there are period photos showing the UC and wheel wells were painted the same as the underside.

I hope you make more templates - top notch work
