Looks good so far, Falcon!
The camo pattern is very eye capturing and seems historically correct.
I had a look on other skins you did for your Squadron, and can say loved the wheatering effects you threw in many of them.

NP, Willie. As the original profile was put together by me as a study for a personalyzed aircraft skin for my own use, I will let you use it with number 80, and for free ;) . (Ok I will accept a cold beer from you...).

Cheers!

Steps 146 - 321 ...

Image

correcting camo patterns, creating new graphics, identifying trouble areas and more updating of my old template.

I will decrease the opacity and slightly blur the camo after the patten is finalized.

Next step ... maybe the new shark face.

Thanks Willie, I will make the basic new skin available to all who would like one when finished.

Yeah, I know. The client also made a comment about the mast. As you can see, I'm putting a colored test mask layer over the star to see exactly where the double matting is.

>sigh<

The La-7 mat could have been made better.

I never did figure out just WHERE the hid that radio mast on the skins for those things either..

I'm sure Falcon will dicover where it hides. Looking good.

Tons of wee errors on void and old template fixed, more to go. Face almost lined up and nearly ready for detailing.
