The EAGLE is out ........

Gajit, can you do also some Finnish repaints for Eagle? You know them they were on default in LIC Eagle. You can see all 3 Finnish Eagles here
 
Hi Anaolpopov

If you can show me some pics or give me a regstration number I will have a look for you.
Meanwhile i have almost completed this one.. only prob is i cannot find a photo of the underside!! It may have to stay blank.

Very nice!

The whites on the wings appear to taper too on the photos. Don't forget to move the Christen Eagle text

You can see the underside here This photo also gives a bit more detail for colour and size of the registration
 
Also Gajit... if you click the word "here" in Anatolpopov's post (and mine) you will see we've linked to photos.

Yeah - sorry - doing stuff inbetween work phone calls so not really concertrating (my excuse anyway!!)
 
I will do the "KOFF" one if no one else is planning to do it.
 
Basically it's a lateral black line with white borders on both undersides. As is so often the case, the aircraft registration is also painted on the underside of the lower left wing so that it fits between the trim line and the aileron forward edge. Top edge of text is parallel to the leading edge. There is an equal gap top to the trim line and bottom to the aileron line.

What am I working on? Guess:

You'll need this then:



Use it to trace a vector stencil of the horses heads. Make a badge to go on the nose, just forward of the canopy. See the photos for exact placement. Just forward and aft of the slogan "Nousukierteessä vuodessa 1819"

I havent done the beer mugs yet and you may find yourself cursing because the checker pattern does not exactly align, so you'll be cutting and pasting bits of white squares.

The woody woodpecker logo also might need cutting after you've drawn it. The top of his hat and the flames wrap over to the top panel section.

Tx Chris - I suddenly feel pressure as like a student would working with a master of art - I really apprechiate your guidance.
 
Rubbish... just passing out my trash - "KOFF" is way down my list, but I had a few leftovers...

...I'd put it on the back burner because I "hate" cutting textures to wrap over different parts of the texture sheets... I leave that to my betters.

PS - if anyone is missing info, don't hesitate to ask - I have got Eagle background that's been gathering dust bytes for years. I have played around with most of the RW paintschemes at one time or another and collected info. OK - much is "reject" work for the FS9 model, but if I can help, I will. I know the ins and outs of this bird, right down to the numbers of screws...

Naah... if you want pressure, then you go to the bother of creating vectore graphic images for flags, like this:



As you can see, raster graphics look awful, so I had to find a large enough public domain image that I could vectorise.

All for an object that is merely "decoration" on the wheel spats. Obsession? You bet!
 
Chaps this add-on looks fantastic and the externals are a treat to the eyes, but can one of you please post some shots of the VC that aren't streeetched. I'd just like to see a few pics of the panel and gauges before parting with my had earned (or short supply as I now call it).

Cheers. :icon29:
