Warbirdsim P-51D-5-NA Little Friends II OUT NOW! (Pay-ware)

[AussieMan]

Thanks to the help I have been given by both John and Jan here and Aussiecop on the OZx forums I believe I have mastered the art of layered painting. Real life has interfered with my painting over the last few days but hopefully tomorrow night I will have some WIP screenshots to show here. The hardest bit has been the Alpha channels but seem to have that worked out now.

formation fun:

I don't think I showed you "Sneebo" yet?

 

[huub vink]

Nice work in these "piano keys". Great weathering on "Georgia Boy" and I don't think I saw Sheebo before......

Cheers,
Huub

Most of the repaints I want to do are former RAAF Mustangs that have been restored. Most of those in private hands have had the gunsight removed so I am wondering whick paintkit and model I can use. Also can I please have some information on how to add the 108 or 110 gallon drop tanks and how to get them to show in the cfg.

Thanks.

 

[AussieMan]

No worries I have the answer to the drop tank issue now. Found it in the Redux thread.

G'day Tom,

Thanks for the compliment on the screenshot. Is my first major attempt at a repaint. Took a bit working out how to use layers but all ok now. Helathwise I am never better. Retired a month ago and things like my Blood Sugar levels fropped from 25 to around the 4 to 7 level and blood pressure is way down as well.

Got more time to devote to Flight Sim now as well. Give me a yell if ever you are heading back towards Sydney so we maybe can meet up for coffee.

"PENDAJA / MISS Ruth" repaint posted

Have just uploaded repaint to the FSX skins library. Now, which one shall I attempt next?



Cheers

Taff.

PS my regards to all the other re-painters out there e.g. Jan Kees and DaveQ etc. I have always marveled at your skill and expertise and after working on this repaint I am even more impressed with what you and others are able to achieve.

 

[AussieMan]

After many false starts I finally feel that I am almost ready to post my first WarbirdSim repaint. However I need some advice from either Jan of John or any other repainter. Here are some screenshots that I have highlighted my little problems on.

These three screenshots show the problem I am stuck with at the moment:

In this shot I would like to know how to change the stencilling to reflect an Australian built P-51D. CAC Australia built 200 Mustangs and Australia purchased nearly 300 from the U.S.

Advice greatly appreciated.

 

[AussieMan]

Some more showing WIP.

Think I have the shine just about right.

Hope to have some shots of this bird taking flight later today.

JanKess!?!? Have you ever posted your "red tail" D model paint you did?

 

[ZsoltB]

Great Little Red!

 

[jankees]

aussieman: the stencils are on the 'stencils' layer, just select this part of the layer and delete it, and then replace it with a CAC datablock

The other bits and pieces I don't know, just keep making layers invisible until they disappear.

Meanwhile I'm working on another Iwo Mustang:

The red tail I never uploaded, nobody seemed interested in that paint.

 

[skyhawka4m]

PLEASE UPLOAD?!?! That will save me a repaint as I was going to do one myself.......please do!

 

[AussieMan]

Thanks Jan Kees ..... wasn't aware you could just delete a small area of the Stencils layer.
