All that scalloping must have driven you nuts! It would me. But...the finished product was worth it.. for us anyway! :very_drunk: :encouragement:

Another one in the pipeline! I have doubts about the red-orange colour!

Think I found the right colour: FS 12197, international orange.

My VMT-1 paint looks good with pbr. Good Job. When I do a skin, as much as possible I use the appropriate colors for the era. The US Navy had a few different orange colors in use. The red orange didn't last long as it faded rather quickly. I use the Official Monogram US Navy and Marine Corps Official Color Guides by Maj Elliot as a reference. And a ton of supporting documents I've acquired over the years.
Cees, I looked at a few TF-9J color shots and I think you were OK with your original "Insignia Red" paint as in your screenshots in post #179. The red in post #180 is closer to DayGlo color.
I uploaded the last version with the international orange. According to my sources this is the most accurate representation. I don't know when it will be up.

It;s up now! Downloading as I type. :jump::jump::jump:
Looks great Cees. I have seen the Navy orange on different aircraft. It usually starts out more reddish, but after a few months in the sun, it fades to the DayGlo shade you have here. I like it.
Either way it looks good,

This will be the next one. After that I'll turn to the single seat variants. Mind you: still a work in progress!

I uploaded the VX-5 repaint. Should be up soon.
I hope you'll like it.

Clever use of the refueling probe as a a coloured "instrumentation" probe :)
I like it - will also use it on the Rob's AI model for my upcoming retro USN/USMC traffic project.

Wow Cees,
The Va-113 texture looks nice.
What were the improvements over your older paint of this one?
