Flush head nails, polished and painted as all the wooden surface. In the museum plane they are simply blackened by age and subsequent chemical restoration.
Just finished a new 2D panel for the Storch..

Here is the example..
Thank you..
yes, nails... still the dark finish would be more like it... Indeed as they are... they seem rivets... points of light...
Now... it is quick and dirty as they say... but this is what you want the wings to look like... not corrugated...

I don't know why I haven't paid this thread much attention before, but I just went through it and I must say that I'm very impressed Gaucho. I piddle around with my meager painting skills, but you sir are a true artist! I also much prefer a good 2d panel over the VC view. I've done a few panel bitmaps over the years, but nothing like your's. There were some panel bitmaps from a few years ago in the thread that I was interested in, but then I read of the theft of your comps and previous work.
If you ever revisit the Seafire or Fw 200 Condor, let me know.

Ooops... don't know how that happened...
Actually, I do, I got so carried away I forgot I should be doing a faired nose variant... this is for the bomber, huh?
I will revamp it... lower the panel to offer more forward view... and do a new firewall...
Somebody very perspicacious just pointed out the error...
Funny.. the older I get... the more things I miss... lol

I had a dig through my reference material and, while I have quite a bit on the '88, none of it has anything useful on cockpits & panels. Only managed to find one link on Google that might be useful to you though (the Ju 88C pics should be of use).

Speaking of Google, something didn't seem quite right with your nice Mig-23 panel but I couldn't think what it was; but when I Googled it this morning it struck me ..... the colour, the Soviets tended to use a rather garish turquoise shade in their cockpits during that period.

I always check your stuff out G but, shamefully, don't compliment you as often as I should. Keep up the good work mate.

CASA 2.111F panel
Goooood moorrrniiiing Carlos,
yes you did a fine work!
So the yoke and ECU unit should be on a separate window.
If yould send me the bmp's that would be fine.
Oh I have seen the Ju 88 Nachtjäger you did.
Cane you do it with a separete bmp for the horn?
And than the horn in a neutral position?
I have tried to do my own Ju 88 panels. but humm far away from your fine graphics.
Happy landings
Yours Michael "Papi" Vader
Vader,
Here is the work I've done so far on the panel you sent me... let me know what you think...
(the yoke and throttles can be in it or not)

Question...
Will it be Ok if I send you a PSP layered file? i.e.: The black backgrounded panel, over it the column in a next layer, and on top.. the yoke (what you call the horn in a neutral position)...
You can easily convert each one into a bmp... for use (that is, if you have a program that can do layered PSD type files) making a popup moving yoke and column... Otherwise... I can send you 3 bmp files (a little more cumbersome to send for me... just trying to make it easy on myself...lol)
Let me know.. here or via PM.
Tschuess,
Carlos
P.S. The C.A.S.A. will be coming next ASAP... ciao

Guten morgen Carlos,

Will it be possible also to make the panel for this version?
Tschüss

modified "hand on joystick" gauge for USAAC WW2 Europe and..
Pacific Theaters...
Decided to dress up the joystick gauge with ID bracelet and shearling leather jacket sleeve
for B2 jacket... as well as one sleeveless summery hand
Available as usual... (either just the bmp to apply to the gauge... or the gauge already modified)

New naural metal template and paint kit for the FDG P-51D
A model that still goes a long ways in FS9 even at its age...
I think that this type of rendering is nicer than just an overall super shiny alpha channel...
It is in several layers...and the metal shine goes above the livery... weathering can be added ad libitum...
Available as usual...

Michael.. here is what I've done so far on the He 111B panel
The yoke and the column are two different pieces... and can be placed as you see fit...
I included them in this view to get a better idea of what it will look like when finished...
It is easier to share it here... (sort of instant) rather than send a test proof by email...
Let me know what you think either here or by email....
