Navy Duck

This paint has been done. It might even be in the SHO library.​

Can't find, even searching for "duck" and "Domingue" . . Is this for Paul's or Swingman's duck?

Turned out I had both Paul's and Swingman's duck in my hanger. This is Swingman's. I think Jan's paint and textures are much nicer on Paul's model, but I like the pilot and co-pilot figures in Swingman's better. I can't get any glass with Paul's model in DX10, even with Steve's fixer. So I fly with the canopy open. Beautiful sheen on this silver model. Love the staining.

So dvj, are you saying Jankees' skins will work on both Paul's and SWingman's Ducks?

Jan shamed me and I'm steadily pumping away on an update for the "Bad Duck". I'm working on new pilot and radio man characters as we speak which I intend to animate. I have a model of the Mount Kyle which I did not release. It's the -6 model as seen in Murphy's War. My favorite movie of all time BTW!
I don't know what my system runs FSX in but I would think it is DX10 or 11. Is there any way I can check this for myself to see what could be the problem for dvj?

Ah no. I originally got confused and forgot I had both models. Swingman did a similar paint on his model, but Jankee's silver paint came out looking better on Paul's model.

here is an idea for a very heavily weathered Duck. The "Candy Clipper"

from The Fantasy of Flight website
the “Candy Clipper,” which served in the Philippines on Bataan. The aircraft, along with two other, had sunk and were left by the Navy. A local Army Air Corps P-40 base floated the one aircraft and rebuilt it. It made four flights to bring in badly needed medical supplies for the troops. Some candy was thrown in for good measure and that’s how it got its name. The “Candy Clipper” was the last aircraft to leave Bataan during the siege of the island in 1942.

Ok. I got confused after you got confused - thanks for clarifying. :wavey:
Might wait for Paul's update and then, like you, get both models - Jankees skins just look so damn good!
 
OK, just to clarify a bit more: my paints are for the present model by Paul Domingue.
So if you download now, you can use them, and there is no need for any waiting.
Paul told me he was working on additional models, like the J2F-6 and a model for Murphy's war, so without the engine cowling, but that is still in the future.
You can also download Swingmans model, but my paints do not work for that model as far as I know.




oh, and yes, the candy clipper was on my to-do list..
 
roger that, Jankees.
I was reading Paul's 'update' comment to mean new pilot figures and animations for the existing model - and that probably wouldn't compromise your recent paints (but I may be wrong on that)

A new -6 version (with or without engine cowling) would be a different story.

I have been updating the duck but I am making sure that it does not affect any repaints. The Murphy's War model will be separate as it is an odd ball but it does offer the opportunity to show off the engine which was a bit of an overkill as most of it can't be seen with a cowl.
 
first shots of the candy clipper:






not finished yet, I may need to roughen her up a bit more...
any comments other wise?
 
I had a very nice long over water flight from Tern Island to Barking Sands this evening in the duck. this bird is a fun night flyer as it has great lighting except it needs some sort of red light in the cockpit when a map light is needed. Anyway. Great flight til I managed to nose over and kill myself on landing at PHBK. darn it. I have tacpack installed, so death is pretty spectacular when you die by fire.

our little duck has been playing in the mud a bit more:


and since I do most of my flying down under, I thought I'd paint something for down there as well (I know, as far as I know there never was a Duck on the roster in OZ, but who cares?)







what do you think?

JanKees,

Has this one been done before? IF not, would you do a paint of this one? :adoration:
BTW, are all the paints ^ avail yet? If so, where can I find them. Thanks.....
