    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A big tip of the hat toTim"piglet" Conrad...

Looks like the 'XT-MEB' is on the underside of the wings...so that's done....

Now off to Chile...;)

Does a bit .... but it's how I 'tweak' the paintkit so when released it might help people...;)
 
These are outstanding, with a recent mod to Tacpack this little guy, it's fun. Hope the Dominican Republic version is on the list, big teeth on them.
 
Chile....early days...;)

It's funny how you can almost always get 'stuck' over some detail or other. In the case of the Indonesian paint....I can't for the life of me find a photo of the camo pattern on the right wing.
...and the model pattern limitations make the front teeth problematic...;)
 
flaviossa ...yes, saw that one...but as much as possible I try to work from photos as you cannot always trust 'artwork'.
The photos I've worked from have the call sign on the upper and lower wing....different fuse call too....and no 'pentagon' on the wings at all.

The camo pattern 'might' be right though...;)

Bit like the 21 Sqn. emblem....couldn't find a good low-viz one ...but found a full colour one instead.
[I cheat too]...;)
 
Now with this one the intake under the spinner is red....and I've no idea which bit of the image paints it...so I have to grid-paint my kit to locate it...;)

Edit....it's in the lower third quarter bit...in red...

Edit ....got it...;)

Looking good! I can appreciate your work with the shark mouth as a fellow painter :) Some texture mappings makes certain paints almost impossible.


Will you do an in service Indonesian Tucano as well?

Do you have a specific photo version in mind?

This latest one is an Indonesian one - Squadron 21 - Abdulrachman Saleh AFB Malang, East Java - Indonesia 2013 [as far as I'm aware]...;)
