Hi Pips,

 

 

the first skin looks stunning.

 

You want to correct all skins? Thats a huge amount of work. I see your passion having correct skins!

 

Thanks a lot and take your time.

 

My respect!

Hello Yankee_One,

 

At this moment, I have to finish 2nd volume and 3rd volume ?

 

Later, I will check what skin must be modified. Seems that some of them does not needs modifications (no big mistakes).

 

See you next?

Interestingly, the line markings on the wings (ie. 20 / 35 / 50 / 70 / 110) of the "FIGHTING LADY" skin are not just for show.

They were used as a guide to estimate distance / timing for ground attack maneuvers (like the markings on the 1943 IL-2).

Details can be found in the "Air Forces Manual No.64 - Fighter Gunnery Rocket Firing Dive Bombing" apparently.

Requiem has a very interesting guide on how they were used (the video description also has a link to a .psd with accurate line markings):

https://youtu.be/qKqe0HNYqmU

Looking at photos of other planes with said markings, it appears that the markings on "FIGHTING LADY" skin are a little off (eg. 35 line should cross the middle gun):

 

 

Anyway, not trying to be pedantic here anything, just pointing out as I was specifically looking for historical skins with accurate wing line markings to try out the technique shown in the video ?
