co199 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Posted April 20, 2021 Some more work in progress shots. I'm working on improving the aluminum color, trying to replicate relatively closely to real life. Shots are taken at noon on the Velikie Luki map. And the color reference I'm using: 5
co199 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Posted April 21, 2021 With the release of the new patch and dynamic markings for the P-51, here's a blank skin with the same color scheme as the 26-plane pack in case you want to use your own markings. I named it JS_Blank so it can be found with the other skins. https://www.mediafire.com/file/47no3t1cnwla7nk/P51D15_JS_Blank.dds/file Will be available on HSD shortly. 1 1
co199 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 Wow, I'm glad you like them - thank you very much for using them!
co199 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 Got frustrated with the A-20s so took a break to play with something else... 5 2
co199 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 Fictional P-38 skin, available in a generic unmarked and with "Bare Necessities" nose art. https://www.mediafire.com/file/dwv7j6jhaisu5uw/P38J25_YBP.dds/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/z3gy9h7nzb0gjnc/P38J25_YBP_Bare_Necessities.dds/file Also available on HSD shortly. 2 1
Beebop Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Beautiful skins! Special thanks for the generic skin. As a mission builder it's nice to have similar skins without repeating codes. ? 1
co199 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the compliments! I'm going to start releasing most of my skins as generics, as the ball is rolling on the dynamic markings and I'm sure we'll see it become available for more planes in the coming patches. After doing the 26 mustangs, it's a lot of work. Edited April 23, 2021 by co199 1 1

After doing the 26 mustangs, it's a lot of work. Historic, authentic skins are much wanted and needed but unless one is making a totally historical mission with specific units and all the actual planes have been skinned, there ends up always being some kind of compromise. The addition of Tactical Codes will go a long ways for mission builders to have skins with proper unit colors and squad members having "personalized" skins. Plus 1000 to the idea of making Generic but realistic skins. 1
co199 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Tried my hand at replicating a historic color scheme - this time, a 474th FS, 429th FG, 9th AF P-38J. I based the skin off this profile: Here's a generic, unmarked bird: https://www.mediafire.com/file/rb71pe1tqgp0358/P38J25_474th.dds/file ...and here's a version with some nose art: https://www.mediafire.com/file/175ih9khc7g26en/P38J25_474th_Major_Distraction.dds/file These will also be available on HSD. 1
co199 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Posted April 26, 2021 Here's a couple generic 22nd Fighter Squadron, 36th Fighter Group P-47s. https://www.mediafire.com/file/57nfgysugx30ikn/P47D22_22ndFS.dds/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/d6o6jn1qpfd5a22/P47D28_22ndFS.dds/file Also available on HSD, as usual. 1
co199 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Posted April 26, 2021 I tweaked the metal color and alpha on the D22 version of the 22nd FS skins. Please redownload if you want to update manually; will update on HSD shortly. https://www.mediafire.com/file/57nfgysugx30ikn/P47D22_22ndFS.dds/file 1
co199 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Posted April 26, 2021 Thanks! I think the reflectivity on the D28 and D22 models are different, because I used the same shade of primer / aluminum for the body panels and the same shade for the alpha. I had to darken up the aluminum and used a gloss-black primer for the tweak. Still don't have the same polished aluminum look for the D22, but it's an improvement I think.
co199 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) WIP 401st FS, 370th FG skin. I know the 485th has already been done for the Lightning Strikes campaign, but I want to do generics for career mode and PWCG. Edited April 27, 2021 by co199

I would be able to design a bomber box with that I think I could do that. Let me take a look at the template. Shouldn't be too hard, I don't think. 1 1
