DoughBree L-39C (FSX)

Am trying to find one little marking...indicates canopy ejection...and is on ZU-KIM both sides....above an ejection seat triangle quaintly upside-down.

Gonna be a miracle to trip over it....;)
 
Looking at this one.. http://img.planespotters.net/media/photos/original/076000/PlanespottersNet_076792.jpg it appears to be showing the 'break here' or escape/bang areas on the canopy.. unless all three areas will blast off. Never known a windscreen blow out though so could be (and probably am) wrong!! Can't find a bigger shot of that marking but will keep looking;)

EDIT: This one is a little clearer.. http://www.sa-transport.co.za/aircraft/military/aero_vodochody_l39_albatros_zu-gee_03_dc06.JPG

EDIT#2.. here's another variation.. http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/435577/530wm/C0114629-Fighter_aircraft_cockpit-SPL.jpg

Dave.... that second one will do me....enough detail for me to draw it....ZU-KIM has the black/white ver.
Thanks for the help...;)
 
Chucked it together....

Thanks, Dave...;)

I'm losing track...but I think this was one of the original default paints....'white 35'...
...had a rework and a bit of fading...;)

Hooray - a "working" Warpac bird - love how it's looking. The rattier, the better.

Looking great, Jafo!

Awesome! Though, not like "pulled out of a swamp after 16 years" ratty, but "Cold War jet fuel and vodka quotas are more critical than fresh paint" ratty.

Anyway - yours and B's work is outstanding. Can't wait until all finished up - will be a notable project, for sure.

That's the exact same pic I was looking at already to emulate....looks like it's been belly-up a few times in a swamp...;)
 
Part way through 'ageing' the camo of Red 39 ....fuse is mostly done....yet to deal with the wings....hence the brighter colours.

Shall look for more pics of that particular plane...see if the right side is much the same...or not...;)

...and the wings....

Playing with the details of weathering can take forever....there's so many options re deterioration...;)

This is about as scruffy as it needs to be...;)

Fuse is mostly done. The paint's from a ZA which has a longer nose so a bit of cheating was needed...;)

Aaaand another favourite in the making.


P.S:
Do you have any skin that you'd consider releasable, i.e. decals and all?
If so, I might just kick out the default paints, use yours (even if it's just one) and then upload the entire shebang. The updated defaults can be released at a later stage.
I know the other guys actually don't deserve it, but the amount of teasing in this thread reaches new peak levels with every screenshot you post. Even I finding it ever harder to stand it.

Bjoern ...yep, there are a few that can be set free...the Shatter paint is the 38th ....only a couple of thousand left.....

I'll need to shrink a few to 2048 [they'll be less good] and bundle them with the full 4096 as an option...and get them all in DDS...

The only images I alter [except for the odd pilot] are the fuse...t and s...and the wing...t and s [with their alphas]... the rest is 'default'.

I guess I need a dropbox account or whatever to transfer things to you so you can pick and choose what to add as bundled....;)

Meanwhile....this is essentially done...N399ZA [it's not a 'C'] but if you ignore the no pylons or gunpod [and smaller tip tanks and shorter nose]...no-one will notice...;)

A list with all paints that are done and links to the screenshots (if posted here) via PM will do.
I'll pick one to three and reply and they you can send 'em to me via mail.

Well, Hadi Tahir's model is a "ZA".

I'm intrigued by the "no tip tank" option, but the model unfortunately makes them hard to "cut off". The penalty in range should also not be unterestimated...




Btw:
Have you ever considered spec maps for the interior textures?
Either I'm running a bad test model in FSX or the material is a bit too glossy. But I can't figure out any good material settings.
