I'd appreciate that very much. I took a pretty nasty fall and am supposed to be staying off my ankle for the next month or two so it looks like I'm going to have some extra time to sling some paint

VC work is coming along well... nearly done, and external artwork for the Lodestar family has commenced!

Awesome work, Firekitten!

Thank you Rachael for diving into this one; it is greatly appreciated.Looking great so far
And of course, the paint kit for the Lodestars is a bonus too.
The sooner we get the Harpoons and Lodestars out, the sooner I can get started on the A-10 Havoc.

Base fuselage is done... now the wings and engines!

That's not a finished bare metal one... it was a stage in the texture development... but yes, there should be a bare metal base when I'm done... I develop all my textures from metal to get the tone for other colors... so yes

Airplanes need wings... next, they need engines... two sets!
Ok, as it looks like we've got a bit of "show & tell" going on, here's what I've been slinging paint at lately. Right now, it's a very, very rough work in progress, but it's going to eventually be a "generic" D model Harpoon in Navy tri color camo. Right now, it's in the "let's figure out where all the lines should go" stage. Once that's done, I'll go back and start cleaning it up.

Repaints KLM West Indies
KLM West Indies Division, based at Willemstad-Hato, Curaçao (north of Venezuela), operated Lockheed 14 Super Electras from 16 May 1938 on to Colombia (Barranquilla). Services followed to Port of Spain, Trinidad, Barbados, Surinam (Paramaribo), Venezuela (Ciudad Bolivar), Jamaica (Kingston) and, on contract work, to the USA (Miami).
Throughout World War Two KLM operated in the Caribbean and South America, with two brand new Lockheed C-60A Lodestars added to its fleet when scheduled services to Miami began on 17 August 1943.
On 30 July 1945 Douglas C-53's followed by C-47's began to replace the Lockheed Super Electras and Lodestars. On 1 August 1948 the Lodestars PJ-AKA and PJ-AKB were written from use at Willemstad-Hato. Exactly one year later they were disposed off into the Caribbean Sea. In those days "pollution" and "environmental protection" were almost certainly non-existant expressions.
The repaints have been made for the FS2004 Lockheed L-18 Lodestar by Milton Shupe & Team, available at Sim-Outhouse.com (see http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...er-quot/page70 ). They feature both KLM Lodestars PJ-AKA and PJ-AKB and should be considered a work in progress.

Things are looking great folks
FYI, I will be offline for a few more days. My cable modem got toasted in an electrical storm along with my water heater and FS yoke. :-/
Hopefully I can get the cable model replaced Monday.
Please carry on in my absence.
