Ouky1991 547 Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) My first skin attempt. Alan Deere's (Biggin Hill Wing Leader) Spitfire. Credit goes to ICDP for his awsome 4K template. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuNMhyFUc37KjnZx_7US2fzkFcn3 Edit: fixed missing texture on clipped wings. Edit 2: I have updated my first 2 skins with some small changes. Also I forgot to mention I'm using old sky color mod: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/35425-mod-old-sky-color/ And all my screenshots are slightly changed to look like my reshade preset: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuNMhyFUc37KjnVwzMYPBElXlr1m Edited August 3, 2018 by Ouky1991 8 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only combined existing skins before and done little weathering on them, so I could learn how to use GIMP. I'm not sure if it's ok to post skins made this way here. I contacted one of the creators (about week ago) if he would mind, but got no reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptorattacker 1444 Posted July 25, 2018 @Ouky1991 I'm sure that if you use any others' work then as long as you credit them it's not really a problem. It's just a case of 'credit where credit's due'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is one of the best Spit skins I've seen, you really got the wear, exhaust and weathering right!

Does that mean your weathering is on a template? I'd be very interested in your spitfire weathering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started on the skin before that template got released and used some other WIP template that didn't have weathering leyers done. I would do it in different layer but I was still learning and didn't know how. But extracting that weathering (if you mean the exhaust weathering) shouldn't be that complicated. If that's what you mean, I could at least try. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you could that would be grand. I tried and since it's extracted from green background it's gonna be better on green planes. I tested it on my 2nd skin and it looks wierd, maybe you can fix it.

smink1701 324 Posted August 2, 2018 That is EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Weathered, faded by the sun, tired and used up. And green not grey. LOVE IT! Can’t wait to get it in the air. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zargos 938 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, smink1701 said: And green not grey Yes indeed, but very unlikely ... brown/green paint schemes were not used after 1942 ! This would be a nice suit for a Mk.V anyway. Edited August 2, 2018 by Zargos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smink1701 324 Posted August 2, 2018 You are right of course but my preferred color scheme for the Spit has always been the classic BOB brown and green so it's a wonderful addition to my collection. But if Ouky can make a similar suite for a Mk.V that would be most welcome!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ouky1991 547 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) No 92 Squadron RAF based at Biggin Hill.

Zargos 938 Posted August 7, 2018 Hello, Here is my last Spitfire Mk.IX skin : the personnal plane of the French ace Pierre Clostermann (N°602 Sqn) in 1944 just after the D-Day. The real plane was a Mk.IXc with a round tail as many pictures suggests. More information and download here Enjoy your flights 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullets 380 Posted June 16 (edited) @Ouky1991 I would greatly appreciate some tips to be able to skin like you! You camo/paint schemes are in my opinion one of the best and I don’t know how you do it haha, do you have a special brush or setting I’m missing out on 😄 you get the paint looking just right.
