With all that's going on in the CFS3 community, I thought a little diversion might be in order. This is just some piddling around I've done with the awesome PBY.
 
Thanks for the encouraging compliments from the master painters!!! Working on a couple of problems, maybe you could help:
  • The insignia becomes pixelated in the sim. I'm saving the textures as DXT1 2048/2048. Any suggestions?
  • The upper wing texture repeats in the wing float housings. Is there a work around?
Bravo/4, As you did some awesome paints for the Cat, would you be willing to clean these up and post them on your page at Reg's when I'm done?

Nacht, no problem really! She is a joy to paint and the mapping makes it EASY! Now, before anyone says so, I acknowledge most of the skins I'm doing are more appropriate for the PBY-2. However, I couldn't resist this, with the prewar USN paints available for the F4F-3.

I'm having a great time doing these skins and appreciate any advice or suggestions.
