New PBY-5

Hey sweet! I took the Pby Cat panel from that Abacus junk they released a long time ago..(although it had a sweet panel. LOL! thats the only reason i bought it) And I took the Grumman_Goose_G21A sounds from Fsx and its on the way to being a smoken hot addon! Im going to make some guages for this one as well. And I will paint it up a few liveries as well.

Hey if one of you guys can get the interior(vc cranked up I will paint it like you never seen for ya. I can do paints really well.
And it will help me get back into the swing of things.

ohhhh I would so much like to see new liveries!!! a "painter" I amm not....


BTW strike 1 on first try @ Multi-Res, but it is late......
 
As a painter I was a little disappointed at the tiny size of the Cats wing textures, any chance of this being addressed in the model? I feel some RAAF PBY5's coming on when the floats only version hits the streets :)
 
Another field modified cat. This time the twin 20 mm cannon version with a slightly different radar antennae layout.

And no Old Wheat it isn't multi res yet, I'm still learning this stuff.

If the radar antennas are not color in the model but are skined there alway cane be a more skins made for any color you want.
 
At the moment the Radar antennae aren't textured but that is a simple fix. I wasn't sure whether they would have been painted to match the underside of the wing or whether the paint would have interfered with the antenna functioning? Any physics or radio experts out there?

I would still texture them with there own .bmp so the can be made with a texture even if they were not painted the same as the underside so that they alpha-ed out in the .bmp if your not skining a PBY with Radar.

As for paint would interfere with the radar I cant say.
