Cleaner, personalized French P-36 ...



If you'd like one, let me know if you'd like this scheme to be a French or Vichy French design.

This is gonna be a real quicky. No uber detailing, just a cleanup, realignment and maybe some undercoating ...

at no extra charge.

Sire Falconé!

I need both versions of the "Master Of The Cermonies" skin, s´il vous plâit! J´adore vous magnifique arts de skinning, Maître! *slime*

Merci, mon Dieu!

BOTH heh?

Well okee-doke.

So, what IS this so-called "Master of Ceremonies"? I thought it was the name of a particular French ac, but I can't find any pics or info on it.

Send pics and I'll do them.

You don´t need to go that far, m8. Actually it´s this P-36/Hawk 75 we´re here talking about. "Master of Ceremonies" was just the description by that nerve-racking French co-moderator who introduced his preferred aircraft on the Duxford airshow in 2005 ... some of the mates who were there can certainly still remember his notes about the "Masters of Ceremonies" who took half of the German Luftwaffe out in the Battle Of France in 1940.

*sigh*

Yesterday ...

Oh yeh, I remember now;

another tale from Duxford.

And here I was searching for an hour on the Internet for Hawks with "MofC" written on them.

gah!

Sorry, my nurse was changing my dribble cup and I was distracted.

Anywhen ...

the Hawk has some issues I MUST fix even doing a quicky paint job.



It might take a while, but I'll try to finish by Sunday.

Hmm, so was the Commissar of the Socialist Republic of New Orleans trying to figure out the equation of the latent heat factor of solar energy on Mars when he was skinning? What's with all the numerals on the tail?

Adds more interest AB, if you get bored flying it you can do the soduko puzzle.

Damn! I was hoping it was his social security or bank account number.

More work on textures, metal effects, details and graphics ...



Green stripe appears to be only for French ac. All Vichy ac I see have the stripe painted out.

All graphics have historic precedence ... just kinna FI'd a bit.

Those rivets on the cowling are gonna be soooo fun to straighten out.

>gag<

Nice placement of the markings but you got to make those panel lines less profound..or I think you may not have gotten to that yet.

AB,

Thanks for the input. All lines are still 100% opacity while I create a new template. Once I have finished ALL the lines and rivets and shadows and details I'll start to fade them. Now, you can see that I've decreased the opacity of some of the graphics and the lighter patches, but they too are not at their finished state.

After I add a minimum amount of detailing, I'll correct the warped areas and then create the 3D effects and finally start on the camo.

After the camo I'll do a last opacity adjustment on all elements.


F

Okay, so I got bored and did the camo earlier than I thought.



Before you say anything AB, I JUST STARTED the camo.

This template and the whole French paint thing are new to me, so I'm doing the paint layers slowly.

Damn! Even if I try to do a quicky, things get complicated!

Looking very nice Stu!

Nice one Falc!


I didn't even know that the P-36 was flyable.... If I flew more often, I suppose I might...
