Back again

Post by :FI:Ghost » Sun Jun 15, 2008 8:09 pm

Hello gentlemen! I've returned to my old work on Il-2.. Here's what I've done so far. The basic paint scheme is done, now I am into details, weathering and stuff so I will gladly use some tips and comments.. Does anyone know why the nose keeps staying red although I made it green in the skin?

Boris!!

Good to see you back!

I was thinkin' about your IL2 just the other day.

Do you know that there are TWO spinners; one when stopped and one spinning, (one just above the other on the template)?

Remember to plan your camo so that the one set of hatches that are used for the top of BOTH wings match up. That takes a wee bit of planning. Have patience.


Lookin' forward to seein' the fi'shed product!

I know that, and I've painted them both green but still, they don't show up in the game..

I will certainly do that, just when I get more time, probably during the next week when I have finished my exams.. I'll make several versions, and one of those will be with FI markings...
