Skin request: P-51D


Recommended Posts

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

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...

Where? If you mean under the nose that was intentional!

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"!

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?

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.

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
