Stolle Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the great skins Rap. Especially the Me262 Weiss 3 . I saw this aircraft at the museum in Munich around 1964 or 65. Please look at the skin you made for P-51 'Josephine'. I think the I and K are reversed on the right side. (never mind I think it is correct) Edited October 12, 2019 by Stolle corrected 252 to 262 never mind 1
sevenless Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Rap, that might be of interest. An Eduard PDF full of interesting skin infos about mustangs. Link here: https://www.eduard.com/out/media/InfoEduard/archive/2019/info-eduard-2019-08en.pdf Example: 3

(never mind I think it is correct) It's an absolute pleasure my friend! The way I look at it is that it's better than doing Airfix kits (which my eyes are pretty much past doing these days anyway!) and you can FLY them after you've finished and if they give other people pleasure then that's an added and very welcome bonus! When you saw 'Weiss 3' I myself would have been around 3 or 4 so I PROBABLY wouldn't have been there! 'Josephine', as with pretty much all of these planes at this time, was configured like this. You had me panicking for a moment there!! Anyway, enjoy and I'm glad you like them.

sevenless Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Just found this incredible painting. It is the artist who usually is doing the 1CGS artwork, Mr. Antonis Caridis (rOEN911).

Raptorattacker Posted October 19, 2019 Author Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Lockheed P-38J-25 Lightning While this is actually the P-38J-25, it is based on the P-38H-1, 42-66683 'Pluto' of the 12th.

It carries the thin white stripes and green markings of the 80th FS on the spinners and vertical stabilisers and the emblem of the Squadron on the portside of the nose. The skin can be downloaded HERE and it is with great and humble thanks to @ICDP for his work on the template! * P-38J-10 42-67916 'California Cutie' flown by Lt. Richard O. Loehnert or the 55th.

Most of them, especially the latest ones, have most of their undercarriage and such in the .gtp files and are able to be manipulated but only SEEN with your 'Mods On' checked. The way to make anything 'disappear' is to render it pure black on the Alpha layer. I did it on a couple of MkV Spitfires to make the cannons disappear. https://youtu.be/PlRYwYJ1ijU Thing is, it can often interfere with any layer below it in the 3-d model as to render something invisible often has quite a disturbing effect on things near/around it!

See, if you were to 'black out' the hub caps and there was no modelling of anything else immediately behind then you would end up with a tyre with nothing inside it! Interesting but NOT very historical!! I just noticed, if you look at the P-38 template Alpha there ARE provisions for 'hub caps or not', which involves exactly this, a pure black disc either on or off....
