Joe Binka's "Wilga" Repaints

Slowly. Very slowly, I'm winning the battle .:tgun2: :rocket: Getting things aligned has been a real headache. Mapping issues are like an Easter egg hunt. I got a little miffed last night and decided to light the alcohol burner. I downed a fifth and forgot about it for the night. Only to be reminded of it by means of a killer hang-over:isadizzy::faint:.

S'ok I'm back in the ring again. Here's a few shots.

That INFO Labeling is a must have. It's worked out really good Smoothie :amen:. I've added a lot more info for the better as you can see the detail I'm shooting for :ernae: I've even created a panel line layer. Though THAT's another major undertaking also.

One thing that really urks me most is that plain, ugly VC. I'm working on something better. I just have to figure it all out as I go. Getting a bit frustrated in that though...lol :kilroy:
 
Thanks...and, absolutely. I will surely share it when I get done. Although it might be awhile till I upload it. This VC is REALLY torking me off. I don't know the first thing about doing panels. All trial and error :help:

I could use some expertise:faint:
 
One last shot for everyone. The exterior is finished, and the VC is in the final stages. Won't be long now..:woot:
 
Coming soon to SOH members. After a bit of editing this one will be ready to upload.

But first, I need a favor. :kilroy:

I need the badge that depicts the 9 cylinder radial engine. "AJ-14RA" is what it says. I haven't had much luck finding something that's clear enough to use. I'd appreciate the help if anyone can find something useable before I upload the repaint.

Here's a couple pics to tide you over till it gets released.
 
Well, here she is. Standing as proud as she can. I made quite a few more changes since the pictures above. I tweaked basically the whole thing to better overall real world looks.

I don't know a how to do a lot of stuff in Adobe PS, and I gotta hand it to "Smoothie". He's one hell of a guy. If I have a problem trying to figure something out that I want to do, I'll pass it by him. I'm pretty sure he uses Paintshop, but he generally comes up with the answers I need, to do what I want in accomplishing the my desired look. Thanks Smoothie :ernae:

I also want to say Thanks to Joe Binka for making this all possible. I really enjoy the Wilga.

I love to learn new things and be able to do these repaints for everyone. If you're tool of the repainting trade is Adobe PS and you have any tips that might help me along my way, I'd be all ears...lol.

Here's some shots of the final appearance (aside from the blue tow block on the tail wheel) before I upload it.

I also included my customized VC :wave:
 
I guess it's time to move on to another plane. I gather no one likes the Wilga huh?

I'll just post to tease then. Because I kind of enjoy these repaints on this particular plane. :wiggle:

Here's the final for RW D-EGBI.

Don't fret. That's just the model I've been applying the repaints to for testing. I've already tested them on the wheeled version, and they work fine.
I'm pretty sure my repaints will work with all the models. I'll apply them to each model and if need be, tweak if necessary before they get released.
