Repaint for Piglet's A-12A Avenger II

The full scale engineering mockup was saved and restored by a group of ex-GD employees, as of a few years back, it was still in store at Lockheeds in Ft.Worth.
Nice repaint! I've always liked the ferris cam schemes.

I originally tried an ocean blue digital scheme for the U.S. NAVY, but it just didn't look right, so I went with a winter digital paint scheme which looks pretty cool. The Canadian's seem like the one's game enough to pull this off, so I went with the Canadian insignias on this one.

Here's one for the Aussies......

This was the hardest paint scheme to layout so far; it doesn't look like it took much effort, but geez this took a while to come up with something presentable.

Thanks Ferry_vO......

I struggled with this one, but learned a few more techniques in Photoshop along the way. Also, I found an easy to use payware program that allows me to insert any aircraft as an AI aircraft; it's called AirTrafficFX. That's how I've been doing my screenshots with multiple aircraft.

AI Formation! Freeware, in game usable, though it uses an limited number of preset formations, altitudes and speeds, a maximum of 4 aircraft. It does allow a certain amount of manipulation of the configuration file prior to start, and will let you use anything in the aircraft file, including rotorcraft and seaplanes, as long as they're in the aircraft folder. You can spawn on a stationary AI carrier as well, as long as you start the add on after you've landed on.
Looking sharp. Too bad the Dorito didn't make it. Hmm. Dorito... Perhaps a Dutch machine- painted like a wedge of cheese!

I think AirTrafficFX is done by the same author; AI Formation doesn't seem to hold a tight formation, so I picked up AirTrafficFX which does. However, AirTrafficFX doesn't have the preset formations like AI Formation does. So it's a toss-up.

Tommy

I wanted to see what a grey on the underside paint scheme would look like. While I was at it, I decided to have another look-see at the layout of the stripes, and the result are what you see here. I think it looks better than the original release. I've included both the new grey and original blue underside paint scheme with the revised stripes in the zip file.

I've had this one for yonks.....but these recent repaints got me all eager to mess with it some more....

Thought I'd see what 4096x4096 would do for it [there's only one 'real' skin image, anyway]....

Getting some lines back in.....vaguely close to the moving bits was 'interesting'.....

First a 'rework'..... [this is my 'thumbnail']....

....then more 'what if' in Camo..... [you never know]....;)

Yes, it's a fun plane. I've rigged up a 2D pit from a cap of the VC [I like having both], added some burner effects [the built-in ones are a bit twee] and some smoke....always looks more fun with smoke.... hunting down some GE turbofan sounds and reworking skins at per-pixel level.
Ah, it's all fun....until someone gets hurt....;)

First one is a rework of Tommieboy's original....so I'd need consent to distribute.
[I am a site admin for a GUI skinning site [Wincustomize.com] so am conscious of Intellectual Property rights]
It also has 'nose-art' [bare boobs]...a Marilyn pose....also not mine to distribute.

The other one'd be OK...that's all mine.

Here's another....pulled some graphics off a F117....[not originally mine].....silly thing looks like a pair of jeans....;p

I'm not picky about what people do with my repaints, so go ahead and distribute when you are ready.....:cool:

But please do give credit to Tim "Piglet" Conrad (in your readme.txt file) for the original textures that we are basing our new textures on, as much of what we still see on our aircraft repaints, is his original texture work.
