Repaint Request

WIP update

Hi Wolfgang, you are very welcome!

WIP UPDATE:

I translated about 40% of the manual. I am very busy at work, so I am not lightning-fast. Please, be patient, the final result will be very helpful to all of our talented repaint artists.

I started out just doing the repaints for Skylane but as usual got carried away. I did a seven new paints but also noticed while testing that the plane did not fly right and Skylane pointed out the armament was wrong. So I also made a completely new set of flight files and fixed the dp. I'll be posting all of the new C.202 Folgore packages in a moment.

Regarding the national markings, most painters know there are a number of nationality marking sets out there which can be cut and pasted into new skins, but as far as I know there isn't a good set for Italy. So I made my own to use on the Folgore.

What do you think Kelti, good enough for other painters to use for their skins?

Hi Captain Kurt,
Your bitmap is indeed good, but remember that almost every Italian factory used a different type of fasces and different application system (decal or stencil). The document we are preparing will contain explanations about almost all the insignas used during the period 1940-8 September 1943 from different factories and periods.
For the ANR (Aviazione Nazionale Repubblicana / RSI) insignas we'll prepare another document in the immediate future, it will be precious because also the ANR used a bunch of different insigna's shapes for the wings and the fuselage !!!
The ICoAF roundels are OK, but their dimensions and shapes were different because many times the painting was a "field work"...
