FCS Tempest repaint...

Thank you everyone for the comments, pictures and links!:ernae:

I will see what I can do with the target tug. Bare metal has never been one of my strong points, but I will give it a shot.

Not a problem to fix the edges of the green.

I am curious about the paint jobs on RAF planes though. I read once before that they used to "mask' off for the camouflage using, I believe it was rubber mats. Was that practice only used early in the war, or maybe at certain factories? I know I read something about that being painted that way on the Hurricane.
 
I've found to save space and make it more friendly on my meagre system , I've converted all the textures without alpha channels to Dxt1 (no Alpha), the rest with the alpha channels I have changed to Dxt1 minus the canopy and the bumps which I left well alone. However I also removed all the spec files from the texture folders and this was the result, a more matt finish, which I prefer it also saves a lot of space!

As you can see its nice and matt and it now runs a lot sweeter with regard to texture loading!
 
Hi, just thought I'd post a shot of Kermitt Weeks' Hawker Tempest II. Have only just got back to the UK from a vacation in Florida last week, the Tempest is currently situated in a Hangar at the Florida Air Museum where Kermitt keeps a small collection of reserve aircraft.

Cheers

The irony of it all is that the target tug version wa used as my referance when I modeled it. Great job on the skin BTW!
