Stukas über Stuttgart!

Post by :FI:Falcon » Fri Aug 22, 2008 9:08 pm

early WIP

My first serious attempt at winter camo ...

Image

All the Ju-87 marks are a bear to skin. The cowling is a mosaic of fractured mappings. Attempt any complex schemes with caution!

Okay, here's the snowbird sans snow ...

Image

... still WIP.

Lots more to do and not much time to do it so may not have it for this weekend.

It is meant for the D-5 and G marks, but works fine on the B.

The east front summer Stuka (Ju-87B) is ready.

Image

Yes, you can see some discontinuity in some of the surfaces, but that's as good as it's gonna get with the funky mapping.

I made my template capable of changing from this "B" mark to the "D"/"G" mark with a few quick layer shifts and some small compromises in accuracy. I will make them (D&G mks) available soon.

Option is your number.

Winter Stuka available soon.

Thanks Marc,

When I looked at the skin this morning, I found a few places where I could improve it. I added more details and I'm going to make the "B" mark more ... Bee-ish and less Dee-ish to get it more accurate. So, gimme another day and I'll have a more historic, better design.

COM, how's the scheme? You still need a Stook?
