Bjoern and Jafo - been watching this unfold - looks really smart. Soviet era trainer - what's not to love?

Jafo - I've seen a good number of clean civie/airshow type schemes. Will there be something a bit worn, working gal type of paint? There's something really compelling about this particular one, as an example ...

thanks, and a huge kudos to the work done thus far!

DL....yes...I too prefer the worn look with 'working' AC....specially camo varieties.

At the moment I'm just leaving the dirt layers off while I get the clean paints right first...;)
 
Patriots is coming along slowly....got most of the fuse worked out....the alpha and spec will be entertaining....lots of chrome...;)

Slower than I thought...;)
Fuse is mostly done....more to do for the wings.

Darn out of memory issues with PSP6 ....thought I'd lost the lot. Too many layers will get ya eventually...;)

Wings still ain't right...possibly too much white.
Gotta find better top-down views....and find out what happens underneath...;)

OK...LottiCat is being a pain... still don't have a clue what happens under the wings....the topside is asymmetric as it is..;)

...and the root's NQR still.
 
So far the only US of the plane I've found is from a video of an RC model ... not an ideal reference but it's all I have so far.

Looks like the wings are mostly white...with leading edge black...and with the red/black/grey flash repeated underside.
Shall keep googling for 'real' pics.

Bit of 'artistic licence' and added some text details this one doesn't appear to have.... but it's for close-up 'bling'.

Time to find an easier one to do...;)

I think this'll be the first of the HD ones I upload. The details are OK enough...
I've experimented with linework and rivets that show up in both light and dark paints...at the same time...and added a bit of dirt.

Now to tip 'em upside down and into DXT5 format....and shrink them to 2048 and see how they look...;)

attachment.php
 
This might become one of my favourite paints. Black and orange is a superb color combination.
 
Shrank...flipped...saved to DXT5 DDS.

Ain't too bad... but still needs some post-op tweaking...some jaggies showed up [the red fuse line worked OK in 4096 but needs antialias for this size].

attachment.php
 
Had a close comparison [like standing on the wing] between 2048 and 4096 ... and I for one will stick with the higher res.... but I'll upload both sizes together so people can choose themselves.

Meanwhile...here's a rework to HD of an older one...that was requested by DaveB...G-BZDI...;)
