=BMAD=Pastry Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Yesterday I encountered a wild P-51 flying overhead that was probably heading too Oshkosh. I looked it up on Flight Radar and found out it was name "Kimberly Kaye" and I thought wow that's the name of my significant other I would like to have a skin of that plane in IL-2! Provided in this post are pictures I could find on the web of this aircraft. -Thanks! 07 3

Raptorattacker Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) @=BMAD=Pastry HERE y'go... All shiny and Airshow-like. Not particularly my style but it was fun so don't scratch it!! Edited July 25, 2023 by Raptorattacker 8 3
Hook_Echo Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Raptorman, where did you find the font for Kimberly Kaye or do you freehand it? It's a perfect match. Great skin. Those shiny stangs are a pain to alpha channel but they're so satisfying when they're finished. By the way, you missed a spot...

The font is all hand-done so thanks for the compliment. I used the only image I could find that actually showed it (kinda) clearly and did it off've that but the perspective on the picture was incredibly foreshortened so... I suppose in this case it's "it ain't WHO you know it's WHAT you know"! Rap
Hook_Echo Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 The intake vent right behind the prop yeah. Wow, really good job on the font. I always struggle with that. I don't have the skill for hand drawn font and it's always hard to find a font that looks hand lettered. Do you do some sort of graphical design for a living, or just a hobby?
Raptorattacker Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Yeah, I've always been able to draw. I'm one of those dying breed who knows how to sharpen a pencil and that! My Dad used to say that everyone can draw, just that some need more practice than others. 1 1
=BMAD=Pastry Posted August 2, 2023 Author Posted August 2, 2023 Wow, didn't expect the Raptorattacker to make this skin haha. Thanks a lot! Looks gorgeous. I'll make sure to load this into my game asap. Can't guarantee it won't get scratched though. If it does don't worry I have that covered with scotch tape and elmers glue! ? 07 1
