Don't forget to change the pilots clothing. I don't think a bushy would be wearing a flt suit and nifty helmet!

Errr....aluminum doesn't 'rust' as such and certainly not to a red/brown colour. It does oxidize to a white powder when exposed to the elements though. You only see red rust on iron/steel parts.

Well, this particular bird has evidently been reclad in something other than aluminum, 'cause it's rusting away, lol. It's definately fictional, and Rustbucket Air Freight don't fly birds straight off the line...:icon_lol:

In game shot, before the lettering and such....

Would you consider a bit less "rust"?

Don't forget to put lots of nicks and scratches on the prop blade leading edges too. And if the mapping will allow it, you could also put a streak of mud down the center of the belly.
 
Love the 'old' look :applause:

Maybe the brown 'rust' could be mud splatters , as I'm sure this one's been in and out of some pretty rough strips.

Pete.

Really nice!!!
 
That looks real good Astoroth.


You must have been flying into some of those mountain air strips. Got some of that red mountain mud on it.


Oops! Pete I just seen you had the same idea about the mud. Up towards the mountains of North Carolina there is some of the purest reddest mud I have ever seen and Astoroth's red markings look exactly like it.

I liked the red clay mud. :kilroy:

Maybe make it appear it spun off the tires onto the airframe. Yeah and some red mud chalk imbedded in the tires. Kind of like it's seen a lot of going in and out of some rough mountain strips a lot.

I thought this thread was going to produce some good weathering repaints. Those plastic modeler buffs have made it into works of art.

Well I guess I better pipe down I can't even paint.


P.S. Love the Twin Beech Willy, but that texture downlaod link isn't working.
 
Update on my Cargo Paint, Logo applied, but still need to add some mud splashes, and figure out the flight suit so I can change it, and where a couple antenna's are located on the paint kit....

Congratulations Astoroth! :applause:

A real aircraft - living, breathing, smelly heaven.

That plane's been places, hauled cargo and gone through it all.
You know your way around aircraft, went to the trouble of researching your subject and man it shows!

And now its going to continue its long service in my skies too!
Glad you took the courage to kick the rust, but Pete's ideas on mud and grime on the undies sounds nice.

A 'looking forward to'... very much on my schedule.
