I noticed some difference between the right and left outer wing halves as well. I painted a Yugoslav AF bird with azure blue wing tips from a training exercise and had a heck of a time lining things up -- ended up having to compromise. Since I'm no good at making bump maps I couldn't just mirror the rivets and panel lines from one side to the other. Hoping if you make your paint kit public it might fix some of these things. :icon_lol:

Hi,

Here's my repaint kit. This is 2048 x 2048 px textures with new rivets and lines, stencil data (cyrillic jibberish) and the RoAF scheme incorporated. There's no weathering/dirt layers incorporetad, I hope you are able to do that yourselves.
DDS format bump maps are included to go with my slightly different panel detail. Delete the bmp format bumps before using. The model will "read" bmp format before dds. I also recommend dds DXT5 as the format for the main diffuse textures. My PSD files also features an alpha channel. With this painted all white, you'll have no gloss. As far as I can see the tanks and pylons will not read alpha channel data so these will remain in the model-incorporated specular.
The kit features new tail cone textures, chute compartment and nose intake lip. I also made an attempt to make new external fuel tank textures but these are not very good. And before you ask, 5913 featured two different blues. A light one on the lower fuselage and a slightly darker one on the tanks. This aircraft was one of 3 that visited Sola Air Base, Norway, in 2007. It seems the darker blue, used on the tanks, is the standard underside blue as the other two (another A and a C) featured it.

Have fun:

LSK der NVA.

There was two methods of doing camo in the LSK:
1) During overhauls in dresden with "official" colors and patterns
2) In the respective Geschwader with whatever paint there was and the main point being having spots in green and brown on the plane.

Obviously, these paints were done after the latter method.

The machines from JG-1, -3 and -8 were flying in 1990 and thus have accurate tactical numbers.
JG-2 and JG-7 are depicted here sharing one and the same aircraft (actually a "M"), with two different camo schemes before JG-7's disbandment in 1989 (arms reduction) and in service at JG-2.
JG-9 ultimately switched to MiG-23s in 1982, so this MiG continued its service at JG-3 until the end of 1984, when it most probably became an instructoral airplane at the "Militärtechnische Schule".
JG-8 got upgraded to the "bis" around 1977, so their -MFs never got to see a camo paint. This particular Fishbed ended up at the "Offiziershochschule für Truppeninstandsetzung" in 1977.

I wanted to do one paint for one Geschwader each.



Too bad Ivan's Fishbed doesn't use spec maps.


Also, does anyone else have problems with the landing lights being always on?



- Edit:
Also, what's the "MFN" model for?

- Edit²:

Apparently it's a NATO version with different comm and nav equipment.

Still no permission to release the numbers in the source files, so I guess you'll get a "normal" repaint pack.

I have to perform one final check and write the readme and upload, etc...




Making stuff for FSX - where the wrapping takes just as much time as making the thing itself. No me gusta.
 
Finally finished those effin' paints.

Uploaded here, on Avsim and on Flightsim.



- Edit:
A double "description=" line held me up for about two hours. Hence the "effin' ".
